IDE, PCMCIA and MAX_HWIFS... ?

IDE, PCMCIA and MAX_HWIFS... ?

[Steven Scholz]

Hi there,

if I have one IDE interface on my embedded PPC board and I might use a PC
Card HDD in the PCMCIA socket, then do I have to override the define
MAX_HWIFS with 1 or 2 ?

So do I need some kind of a place holder for the IDE interface that might
appear via PCMCIA Card service?

Thanks a million.

Steve,

I'm gonna try this on our board once it comes back from the shop.  Our
board is supposed to have a CompactFlash card and a IDE disk attached.  The
current prototype board has a small problem that kept me from testing them
together.

It will be interesting.
