Hi All,
I've got hold of some Promise Ultra 33 PCI IDE cards for the
NetBSD/arm32 port. However, due to a wiring problem, the
Promise reports as Mass Storage RAID instead of Mass Storage
IDE, and this throws the kernel into confusion. I need to
change the pciide.c file to make allowance for this. I have
tried just changing it so that it doesn't mind that it
reports as RAID, but there seem t be other problems. Has
anyone out there used Promise cards, and does anyone have
the modifications that had to be added to the pciide.c file?
Thanks
Bruce
