Well lets see.....
I lost my ISP (NorthPoint + PacBell) 4/18/2001 There was a T13 meeting the following week. 4/23/2001 Found a flaw in the tests of writecaching. Reverified the contents of the CODE base to match SPEC 4/29/2001
Reverified that certain hosts are not good. (oh two kids that were ill and then the wife) Reconfigure the "CAVE" where I do all of my work. Write 90% of 48-bit LBA, use/test the hostswap for large/huge drives. Look at the user API and chuckled then cried and roared aloud...... Figure out License for the "ide-service.o" module. It will not be GPL but a very strict LAD (BSD-ish) License. Reasons will follow, but I will not be liable for stupid usage.
So if you are reallying dying to test code that has not been full shaken down and requires a huge page for the glue, I will post one.
The service utility is not ready yet so it is no good without one.

PS I left a dump here and there.........but that was going to be WTMI
