IDE on Motorola Hardware

IDE on Motorola Hardware

[Alois Fertl]

Cort, Eric

Some time ago I issued a patch to fix IDE related problems on Motorola
hardware. This patch was not specific enough and broke the IDE support
on IBM. Here is a revised version which hopefully will not break other
systems.

For me this patch works on a RiscPC with the 87303 and on a system
with the WINBOND chip for both disks and CD drives.

Note:
IDE disks may appear to work correctly. It is possible to fdisk and
to generate filesystems. If such a disk is than connected to a intel
system, it will not be recognized due to the byte swapping.

I have my own non generic patch for the MCP750 using the VIA specific driver.
It enables me to put the VIA PCI/ISA bridge at optimal performance...

Thanks for your mail anyway. If you want the patch again, mail me...
