No, because there is no such thing as a 16-bit only ATA interface. There are 16-bit only PCMCIA interfaces that result in pairs of 8-bit ATA registers being accessed at the same time. Defining the NOP command to always give ERR=1 ABRT=1 is all that is needed by PCMCIA PC Card ATA and CF devices that must operate with a 16-bit only PCMCIA interface. Other issues having to do with how NOP is defined and/or used as part of the O/Q feature set and with ADMA style host controllers is unrelated to the PCMCIA interface issue. -- Hale Landis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
