Im cautiously trusting it. I use it for day to day work but I do have backups.
- PIO mode has performance problems, especially hdparm -u0 - There are some crash corner cases left on load/unloads somewhere - pcmcia hangs on card eject - PIO taskfile write causes lots of missed IRQ but doesnt seem to lose data - Something isnt 100% with the serverworks "dont UDMA on OSB4" logic - Simplex controllers we dont run in DMA mode yet (mostly shows up on ALi)
