Good idea. I'm using it on two machines here. One has a (known) broken hard disk, but I don't care whether it drops a few sectors each day. ATA is keeping it more or less alive. The other one is my laptop, and that one seems to be a lot faster and the system load is down (PIIX4 chipset). Except

ATA driver as the default

1999-12-05 Thread David O'Brien
Since the ATA driver is destined to be the default in 4.0-R, and we hare hitting the feature freeze date; can we make the switch now? I think it is very important to get ATA into more hands to see where it breaks. It certainly has problems on my Vaio 505 laptop; and I wonder where else it will h
