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.
