[parisc-linux] IDE controller in B1000

[Stian Skarsbø Solheim]

Hello there

I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but I am starting to run
out of options.

I own a HP B1000. I would like to place a pci ide controller in this
machine and use IDE disks. Of course not to boot from, but as storage (I
am aware of the benefits of SCSI over IDE so no need to point that out
^_^). I have asked several people on various irc-channels, googled for
hours and posted on HP's "support" forum if this would work. I have
gotten all answers from "No it wont" to "Yes it will". But the fact
remains that I havent talked to anyone that can acutaly say they have
tried it and succeeded/failed.

So I ask you! Will it work to put a pci ide controller in a HP B1000
(Running Linux of course)? And if so, which chip(s) should I go for and
are there any traps I should look out for?

(I realise this will, if it works, probably be slow as he** and so on,
but I still want to try)

Appreciate any answers  :)

Stian

It's the right place and it's been asked before :^)

At least one person had something working on C3000:
