I don't know ...  but if there was a utility to analyze the tone and 
content of messages and rank them I think that a lot of your messages to 
this list would be labeled "aggressive/hostile".  You have ranted 
against BIOS manufactures, IDE chipset vendors, software companies, 
other open source software projects, people who don't speak English 
natively, etc.  And many of those rants are repeats.  The entire 
combined software/hardware industry does not exist just to piss you off ...

If there is a problem with VirtualBox then I am sure that there is a 
developer who will listen.  But you have to accept that sometimes the 
answer is going to be "no."  VirtualBox is orders of magnitude larger 
and more complex than a device driver and what works today for the vast 
population of people might not be worth making more complex just to 
satisfy the small minority who need highly accurate emulation of what 
most people consider to be obsolete hardware.  The priorities of their 
project might not be aligned with your priorities and just lambasting 
them repeatedly is not going to change that.

I will speak heresy, but if it really matters that much then maybe the 
correct thing to do is to have two different versions of the driver - a 
"correct" one and one that works in "broken" environments like VirtualBox.

I am anticipating the next round of flaming vengeance.  (But the list 
would be better without it.)
