Summary: [386bsd] have wd.c running on dual-controller configuration
Keywords: 386BSD, wd
Hi all,
just a simple information: i've hacked the wd.c to run on a dual-
controller configuration. Never seen before such? Nor did I :-)
But i've got a big and slow ESDI drive and simply decided to use
a small but faster IDE as primary disk, especially to have paging
go faster. Not much a problem, the WD-1007V controller is capable
of being used on 0x170 along with IRQ 15, so i've only introduced
a clear separation between controller and disk denomination. All
controllers are wd*, the disks go as wdk* [but this is just kinda
comment]. I've hacked only few lines in wd.c, and after applying
Julian's boot sectors, everything's fine now. If someone is inter-
ested, i can send him my patches. -- Well folks, tell this any
convinced dos/mswindows user...8)
