The macide driver doesn't support anything with DMA hardware either. In fact, no m68k Macintosh has both DMA capability and an IDE controller. However, we do support the basic DMA routines on the main m68k platforms. It's just not used for IDE. I think the proposed change was to require that the DMA routines be present, not that the IDE ports actually have to have a DMA capability. > If it doesn't interfere with plain PIO mode, fine. I agree. There definitely needs to still be support for IDE ports that don't have DMA capability.
