It is part of the "folklore". It works that way because old ISA DMA engines worked that way. We have the chance now to document it (or outlaw it) in the proposed host adapter standards document. As I just told someone else, there is lots of test software and eval software and even BIOS/OS "power management" drivers that read status causing this condition to happen. *** Hale Landis *** www.ata-atapi.com ***
