I have started some work on porting the Linux PDC20xxx drivers, and
some of the other ATA-100 drivers (though I'm not able to test any
of those) from the Linux 2.2 branch to the oskit-mach tree of gnumach.
It should work when I sort out all the build errors, which I'll be
working on this week.
If you're interested I can keep you posted as soon as I get a new
kernel running. Hopefully later this week.
