I just installed the ATAPI stuff without problems on my P100 box with
NCR SCSI, a Mitsumi FX001DE drive and *no* other IDE disks.
I think Manuel did a great job with his (brand new!) driver:
Mounting works fine on the second try. The first try normally
fails, as advertised in the README with
acd0(wdc0:0): unit attention
Reading of not too large files works just fine with regular kernel messages
wdc0: lost interrupt
The data seems to be ok.
Most copies of larger files (>1 MB) still result in I/O errors acompained by
acd0(wdc0:0): illegal length indication
BTW: In contrast to the REAME the driver seems to be usable also in
ATAPI-only configurations: since I don't use an additional IDE hard disk
I have to run the CD drive alone and in master mode. To get the kernel
with the ATAPI driver linked, a had to put in also the wd* drive line
(could/should be done using the config program, I guess). Anyway, here
is the relevant part of my config file.
