Summary: Elbox Fast ATA II
Initial Comment:
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.

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.

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