If someone had a drive to offer maybe it could be done. It would be great but it seems like IDE OnStream drives are a real rari= ty nowadays (unfortunately I won't be of a much help here, don't have any)= =2E.. I think that for the time being it is best to just proceed with the rem= oval and see if there are any users needing the driver (+ we should probably= try SCSI/libata/osst path first).
