Hi!

I think it's a common problem, because I have it too. Maybe it's caused by
FastATA (PowerFlyer1200 ???). When I start driver from AmigaDOS, even
bootstrap refuses to start. Maybe someone should convince Elbox guys to
give hardware specification of FastATA. Last time they upgraded their home
page, and there is developer section, afaik only for registered
developers. Reading mail archive I found that someone tried to fix it and
made a partial solution patch. Who is responsible for that patch ???
Is it difficult to write driver for ide controller ??? (I'm quite
experienced C-developer.)
