Hi,
I have just finished coding the ATA/ATAPI driver detection routine, and if someone could test it I would be very happy ;D
Test it on your laptop too, 'cause they have the most strange hardware. It does support slave-only configurations.

Thanks.

Hi,

I tested it on a p2 333 mhz with 2 harddisks plus one 1 cdrom player.

It reports:

Code: Select all

CPU Family: 6, model: 5, stepping: 0
ATA: Finding devices ... 2 ATA and 1 ATAPI devices found.
so, it works.
But I do have some comments, like:

Why does the floppy motor remain on ?
is it correct you don't have (As far as I can tell) a keyboard driver ? because pressing the numlock hasn't got any effect... ::)

But it works ;)

Hi,

Well, the floppy motor remains on because I still don't have developed a floppy driver (my testing computer doesn't have a floppy device, so I can't test it).
And no keyboard driver is present. I have only written the ATA one 8)

Thanks for the reply.
