IBM ATA Deskstars *without* tagged queueing?

2002-09-26 Thread Bruce M Simpson
Guys, I bought a Deskstar 120GXP that *doesn't* appear to do tagged queueing. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered such a thing. It's somewhat annoying; generally I buy IBM drives for precisely the reason that they're meant to support tagging. The device model ID is IC35L040AVVN07-0. T

If you want to get tpconfig to work (so that you can customise various features of the touchpad), I have a PR that will allow you to do this. It is a combination of a hack to the kernel, and a port of tpconfig. Look at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=24299 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/
