The IDE support on 8xx has become even more universal in current kernels (linuxppc_2_4_devel); basicly you have 3 options - quoting from "Configure.help": ... Type of MPC8xx IDE interface CONFIG_IDE_8xx_PCCARD Select how the IDE devices are connected to the MPC8xx system: 8xx_PCCARD uses the 8xx internal PCMCIA interface in combination with a PC Card (e.g. ARGOSY portable Hard Disk Adapter), ATA PC Card HDDs or ATA PC Flash Cards (example: TQM8xxL systems) 8xx_DIRECT is used for directly connected IDE devices using the 8xx internal PCMCIA interface (example: IVMS8 systems) EXT_DIRECT is used for IDE devices directly connected to the 8xx bus using some glue logic, but _not_ the 8xx internal PCMCIA interface (example: IDIF860 systems) ... > Does anyone know where I can find more information about that ?
