Everything what I know about IDE VLB chips is at http://www.ryston.cz/petr/vlb/ and there is also a list of VLB IDE controllers I own. I also own several ide drives - old Alps DR-312C, ST3120A, WDC: AC340, AC22100, AC33100, AC24300 and other and some ATAPI CD-ROMS. As a test box I can use OPTi895 motherboard with 32 MB RAM and AM486DX5-133 processor, I have also A80486DX-50 processor for testing 50 MHz VLB bus.
So if anybody give me exact test directions, I'm able to do these tests if they will be not too much time consuming. But please no "compile the kernel" or "make some copy" advices.
In fact, I think at first shall be all IDE/ATA/ATAPI drivers tested whether they give correct timing on IDE bus according ATA/ATAPI specifications and with various load. Then problem drives can be tested. But it needs good laboratory equipment.
Back to a.m. drivers. What about the problem with region stuff? Was it rectified already?
