SubjectWinBond W83C759 chip support?
Date
From

This is a fairly common EIDE controller chip and I was wondering if anyone has
had any luck at hacking a driver for it for Linux? I just sent some e-mail to
WinBond to see if they could give me the programming specs for the chip, but
I'm afraid the same thing will happen as when I tried to get some info out of
Promise about their cards [avoid them like the plague].

So, before I start go hacking the piss out of the DOS driver, I just wanted to
see if anyone has any leads or is working on such a thing already?

The performance of the 'stock' settings if pretty, um, bad. PIO Mode 4 hard
drive getting 1MB/sec is crappy. It FLIES under DOS or WinLude 95.
