Umm, not to be too much of a moron, but how would I do that? I assume that there's some sort of timing loop somewhere in one of the probe routines, but I really am not knowledgable enough to figure out where. I realize that I'm not really the type of user that -current is aimed at, but I did see that there were lots of changes made in the IDE & ATAPI stuff since 2.2-SNAP-950503 (or whatever), so I thought I'd try it out and see if one of them solved the problem. -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis - blewis@vet.purdue.edu
