There is absolutely no hardware setup done by IDE subsystem or dtc2278 host driver when ->io_32bit setting is changed and since ->io_32bit setting is only ever checked per drive / PIO transfer so this is currently purely a software limitation (moreover HDIO_DRIVE_CMD and HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE ioctls force 16-bit I/O anyway). [ I also haven't noticed anything related to this requirement in Winbond W83759A datasheet (though I have only quickly skimmed through it)... ] Bart - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
