Users have reported similar experiences on the #debian-ports channel with their Amigas and such adapters. So, this might be a hardware compatibility issue that shows on Linux only. > For now, I ordered an SD2IDE adapter with another chipset, and I'll try to > get a real hard disk, or any other device (maybe an IDE DoM or something) > to test with.

Ah, good to know. So the hardware seems to be compatible in general. > (Ps: are these tests/sharing this kind of info is useful? I stop spamming > if no one is really interested.) Absolutely. Please keep reporting such issues as you see them. Adrian -- .''`.
