Hi, Eli!
Yeah, this is off topic, but... :-)
We actually intend to use a new IDE (and SCSI, I have heard) driver set from
Thomas (the guy who did the IDE replacement driver).
That work is progressing, but at a fairly slow rate, as I understand it, due
to real life interceding.
None of this really helps you, though. :-(
Maybe someone on list (Axel, Marcus?) can get in touch with Thomas and see if
he would like some help or would be willing to let you test this or maybe
even would modify IDE Replacement for your PCI info...
