Hi all,
I'm wondering what are the differences between adding a single IDE host with
multiple hwifs vs. adding a separate IDE host for each hwif?
Do both ways work?
I'm asking because I want to convert the Amiga Buddha IDE driver to the new
driver model, using Multi Function Devices (many Zorro expansion cards contain
multiple devices):
- A Catweasel expansion card would have:
* 2 Buddha IDE MFD cells,
* 1 Catweasel floppy MFD cell.
- A Buddha expansion card would have:
* 3 Buddha IDE MFD cells.
- An X-Surf expansion card would have:
* 2 Buddha IDE MFD cells,
* 1 8390 Ethernet cell.
Registering a separate IDE host/hwif for each IDE MFD cell would be easier to
handle than a single IDE host with multiple IDE hwifs.
Thanks in advance!
