hi everyone, after being really depressed by the slow IDE performance, I started looking into the issue and decided to write my own driver for the cy82c693u chip used on the sx board. here come's the first released version of this driver. I've tested it on my machine with disks on the primary and secondary channel and it seems to work fine. I also spend some time with trying to solve the problem with IDE DMA and sound playback - this also seems to work, at least on my machine. Note: the driver is a patch to the 2.1.126 kernel, it may work with other 2.1.x kernels (i've never tested it). I won't work with 2.0.x kernels. For more information see the readme that is included in the tar file. bye, Andreas here comes the driver
