Hi all!

I've a problem in making atactl work on my 2.0 macppc G4 machine...

This is the disk:

wd0 at atabus1 drive 0: <TOSHIBA MK6025GAS>
wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing
wd0: 57231 MB, 116280 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 117210240 sectors
wd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 5 (Ultra/100)
wd0(wdc1:0:0): using PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 5 (Ultra/100) 
(using DMA data transfers)

all atactl commands give what I believe are the right results, apart from
atactl wd0 smart {status,etc...}
nasty# atactl wd0 smart enable
ATA device returned Aborted Command
nasty# atactl wd0 smart status
SMART supported, SMART enabled
ATA device returned Aborted Command

I googled around a bit, but i I didn't find anything interesting...
Maybe I missed something :-), but could anyone tell me what I can do, please?

Thank you for reading this and thanks to all NetBSD developers and users
Ciao!
