If the device supports LBA, then IDP is not issued in my patch. Is

It has been about a decade, but my memory vaguely suggests
that I tried that once before, and some LBA-capable drives
still required the IDP before they would function normally.
I think anything ATA-4 or later was fine, though.
So a safe rule would be
if (ATA < 4)
issue init-dev-params
if (lba)
...current code...
else /* CHS */
...current code...
?
