Can you get more specific ?

Do you mean
a) Some ATAPI devices violate the "ATA/ATAPI-4" NCITS 317-1998 standard  (or
a newer version),
     And your driver contained workarounds for these buggy devices? (And
Martins driver doesn't contain these.)
b) Your driver conforms to the standard, and Martin's driver does not?
