IDE on Motorola Hardware
Cort, Eric
Some time ago I issued a patch to fix IDE related problems on Motorola hardware. This patch was not specific enough and broke the IDE support on IBM. Here is a revised version which hopefully will not break other systems.
For me this patch works on a RiscPC with the 87303 and on a system with the WINBOND chip for both disks and CD drives.
Note:
IDE disks may appear to work correctly. It is possible to fdisk and to generate filesystems. If such a disk is than connected to a intel system, it will not be recognized due to the byte swapping.

I have my own non generic patch for the MCP750 using the VIA specific driver. It enables me to put the VIA PCI/ISA bridge at optimal performance...
Thanks for your mail anyway. If you want the patch again, mail me...
