Promise for example recently sent me a couple to add The early drives haven't changed, but the drivers for the controllers which they were tested on changed (or will change soon). Namely the lists of PIO mode limits were wrong very often. This is mainly because some of the (now almost unused) drivers program the timings incorrectly into the controller registers. I can't say much about the more recent entries, except for that it'd be nice to add a date when the entry was last tested and with what result to each of them over time. -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs
