| |
I have a TX-Pro chipset, which claims UDMA support, as does my Quantum Fireball SE. I am unable to turn UDMA on, or even DMA for that matter on any of my drives. I'm using kernel 2.0.34 right now.
I've written Alan Cox about it, and he basically told me that I'm out of luck in 2.0.x because my chipset only supports simplex mode or something... He mentioned to discuss it with Gadi Oxman (sp?), however I haven't found his email address.
So I'm wondering if 2.1.x will support UDMA on TXpro? Will anyone put such support into 2.0.x as well?
I'd really like to see the benefit of UDMA under Linux on my system. The motherboard came with a driver disk for the UDMA to work under Win95/DOS, but since I use Linux, I am not benefitting from the supposed "33Mb/s (yeah right!)".
I'd really like to see support added to 2.1.x at least. I'm not able to help out in the coding of such support however, I'm afraid.
Thanks in advance.
