Is anyone actively working on the VM86 stuff with an eye to implementing a generic BIOS disk driver, so as to support the hardware or controllers that are not yet supported by a specific driver? Why I say that is because this TMC-885 controller does not work wuth -current's seagate.c, and only on the 2.0 seagate.c with BLIND_TRANSFER disabled. If I could use the onboard BIOS, I'm fairly sure that it'd do better than the huge amount of CPU it eats now polling the damn thing. Stephen
