I use pata_cypress on Alpha, and for the above mentioned problems, it always restricted me to use only one IDE channel out of the two available. Also, not forcing it to use PIO mode, it always failed to operate. I would love to test on Alpha, and give you feedback about a fix/finished implementation of the driver. I have both Alpha Server DS20E and Alpha Personal Workstation 500 including that freak chipset. Let me know if/when I can help with my limited capabilities. btw, here is the lspci of the Compaq PWS 500au: snow / # lspci 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 30) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Contaq Microsystems 82c693 00:07.1 IDE interface: Contaq Microsystems 82c693 00:07.2 IDE interface: Contaq Microsystems 82c693 00:07.3 USB controller: Contaq Microsystems 82c693 00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc.
