Ok, now I tried a kernel without the "hwif->addressing = (hwif->channel) ? 0 : 1" line in pdc202xx_old.c, and yes, now the 160GB drive works without aliasing parts above 137GB back to the beginning of the drive. Some simple tests (reading and writing a few 100MB of data) didn't show any nasty side effects. If you want me to do additional tests, please tell me. At the moment the drive doesn't contain any data, so I can even try dangerous things.
