I know that fact clearly, but I am down to WAGS.
This is almost as bad as the ATA-33 -- 430HX PIIX3 detection crashes.
All bets are off that this will be resolved quickly.
I am curious if it (the drive in question) works period; regardless of the
OS, chipset, etc..........

I have read somewhere (provided the dyslexia doesn't get the better) that
we can do it with DMA, but never attempted or needed.

#define WIN_IDENTIFY 0xEC /* ask drive to identify itself */
#define WIN_IDENTIFY_DMA 0xEE /* same as WIN_IDENTIFY, but DMA */

What is your best WAG, Mark? I am out of them for the time being.

Do you still have your tuning notes on the PIIX3/4 chipsets? I am have a
rough time in the design based on the check backs against "sitre" flags.
