It will if somebody writes and tests the code for it :) (It should work just fine in multiword DMA modes, and the difference in performance will be small for current drives.) I'd be happy to write the code, I just don't have a way to test it. If you have a system and you're willing to help some, we can probably get it going. --jh -- Mr. Belliveau said, "the difference was the wise, John Hood, cgull intelligent look on the face of the cow."
