Toshiba provides Bus Mastering driver for Windows 95: http://209.167.114.38/support/download/files_Archive/Index/windows_95_files.htm So the controller probably can do DMA but it's not a standard IDE controller. And looks like there's no driver in the kernel for it. -- Ondrej Zary -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
