It would be great but it seems like IDE OnStream drives are a real rarity
nowadays (unfortunately I won't be of a much help here, don't have any)...

I think that for the time being it is best to just proceed with the removal
and see if there are any users needing the driver (+ we should probably try
SCSI/libata/osst path first).

Thanks,
