Yes please send me the info. What kind of changes would need to be made to the OPTi62C11 driver to get it to compile and work fine under the 2.0.xx kernel? I have some experience in C programming but I have not actually written drivers before. Is there currently any support for the OPTi EIDE chip sets in the 2.0.xx kernels? Would it be very difficult to get such a driver to work for the Vesa Local Bus?
Thanks......
