There we have it folks.
Hale believes Pat is disregarding one of the "most basic" de jure t13.org rules, while Pat believes Hale is disregarding one of the most glaringly obvious phenomena of de facto Ata/pi DMA bus traces.
I see Hale neither quoted nor complied with my plea to defend the significant minority of folk subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] who lack any reasonable way to register their disinterest in this debate. I believe I remember I did just now make that plea explicit, though interestingly enough here now I have no record of what last I said, neither the portion Hale did quote, nor the rest. In any case, in accord with my own plea, I have now blogged Hale's de jure reply to the anonymously-world-writable:
6 of 8 http://ide-byte-counting.blog-city.com/read/425998.htm
And I have given my de facto answer there.
Bye now, Pat LaVarre
