Subject: Status of the CMD680 IDE driver

Whats the status of the CMD680 driver in the 2.4 and 2.5
kernels?

Seems like it is in the later 2.4, but removed from the -ac
line, and missing from the 2.5 tree.

I'm not iterested in the raid function, just would like to
use it as a pure raw ide controller.

Y, cheap and crap hw, but currently there is no way to buy
other than that in .hu

siimage driver drives the CMD680 and the SATA SII3112 version of the
chip.

Thanks. In this case the config help file for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD64X
should be fixed.

I tried it, but performance drops from 44 MB/s to cca. 20 MB/s
when using new seagate drive in udma5 between 2.4 and 2.5 version.

Feel free to debug it. Start by checking that its detecting 40/80pin
cables correctly given that paticular report
