hi, attached is a tarball that contains port/ and plan9pc/ that have my fixes for ide fileserver operation. the key letter for the ide drives is 'h' (vice 'w' for scsi's), and the drives are numbered 0..3, like h0 is primary master and h2 is secondary master. the only filesys config string i've tried is [h0.0.0h2.0.0], interleaving the pri and sec masters. i've not tried any other drive configs yet but they should work. that i know of there aren't any locking issues remaining but the ide driver doesn't really do interleaving.. this is just a basic interface. --eric
