Hi Andre,
thanks for your response. What is your advice for an IDE-Controller
in an multi platform environment?

I am betting on CMD and Highpoint.
I will meet with CMD in Irvine during the next T13 meeting in two weeks.

Linux support for PDC20268

[Frank Neuber]

Hi list,
I try to set up IDE-Support for ARM-Integrator with an PDC20268.
This controller is currently not supported in 
linux/drivers/ide/pdc202xx.c
It is possible to define this controller with the same behavior as 
PDC20267 in linux/drivers/ide/pdc202xx.c?
Because the ARM-Integrator is not compatible to i386 is it possible
to get problems with the PDC-BIOS?

Best regards
Frank
