Ya know, if I wasn't so tired of all the kids postin about how
they finally got ata/66 to work, I wouldn't make the challenge
........... but wTF, often i'm stupid
so now that you've finally got 'more problems than it's
worth'/'hyped up'/'tryin to sell the masses new hardware' ...going
by hook or b' golly
post a hdparm -Tt/dev/whatever ??
does it do 142+ mb/sec over 22+ mb/sec? and was it worth it ?
ata/33 on a decent BX does with -0- hassle *most any kernel*
kids these days an' what they'll fall for...........
