I remember reading somewhere : that they were not supported and just wanted to make sure. As I understand it, it does...but after trying the current atapi.flp boot image, I would like to know which ones it has been tested on. I am using a secondary ATAPI IDE controller which is recognized on boot-up, but the drive is not. The drive is a quad speed chinon ide. I recently read somewhere that the drive needed to be jumpered as master. But this didn't help me any... Is there a mailing list for this?
