This is something Linux has done (you can still use the direct ATA and IDE subsystems if you want, but in most major distros I've seen as of late, they use a SCSI-to-ATA conversion layer). Thus: why haven't we moved the front-end to the ATA subsystem into atapicam(4) then? Is it just the amount of work involved, or are there technical reasons? -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
