Anybody ever had an idea to write driver for Elbox
FastATA II Controller? Why Linux 2.4.18 doesn't
boot with it. If someone gives me hardware
specification I'll write driver.

    According to Darek Dulian (Elbox) they have made
    available FastATA technical documentation for
    people interetsed in writing linux drivers for it.

    Yep, I know, because I'm the person that have that
    specification. The first problem is that I'm not
    experienced in writing drivers. The second is that I'm far
    away from my amiga (studies). The third is lack of some
    structures in cvs kernel tree (as Geert told) so I cannot
    implement many things (FastATA is really diffrent from
    PC IDE controllers). Currently I've managed to use
    hda/hdb in PIO3/4/5 16bit mode (1.5-3 MB per second).
    Driver support for many features of FastATA is very
    limited. I'm looking for people that're willing to test this
    very experimental driver.
