I wonder if wrt taskfile conversion, if you are using DMA on your IDE disks, there shouldn't be any change in behaviour. I will prepare a patch adding old crap and making it selectable (default will be taskfile, if you go into problems you can check with old code) to easy spotting possible taskfile problems and allowing quick judging - taskfile guilty/not guilty. -- Bartlomiej > Dave Jones is using IDE or SCSI.
