I'm not the most active of contributors, but here's an idea:
Project idea: Integrate ide ATAPI and scsi CD-ROM driver
Currently the ide ATAPI and scsi CD-ROM driver are two
distinct implementations, and have different bugs/features.
This leads to the situation that things which work when using the IDE
emulation don't work when using the SCSI emulation and vice versa.
So this project is for implementing a virtual ATA-to-SCSI bridge
in qemu, use this for emulating an IDE ATAPI drive, and merging the
missing features from the IDE implementation into the SCSI one.
Skill level: intermediate
(This would also help to implement advanced features like NCQ autosense
or sense data reporting in the ATA emulation. Just in case someone's
daft enough trying to implement a ZAC emulation ...).
And yes, I'd be willing to mentor it.
Cheers,
Hannes
