With this patch the driver works fine. I now have both drives on the Initio SCSI bus and am running Linux (Yellow Dog), OSX and OS9 with no problems. A rough timing attempt (hdparm -t) gave something like 18 MB/sec for the IBM UltraStar and around 35 MB/sec for the Cheetah. This is a big improvement over the built in MESH with its limit of 10 MB/sec! -- Stephen Harker s.harker@adfa.edu.au PEMS UNSW@ADFA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
