I don't suppose this is the default libata mode for PIO? How is polling implemented in libata? Sleeping for something approximating the average seek latency shouldn't hurt but spinning wont be acceptable for a low performance single CPU architecture like the Falcon. > Tested under ARAnyM emulator. Not sure that the emulator is really feature complete enough - I'll get this tested on my Falcon in the next few weeks. I'm a bit worried about IDE still generating interrupts on seek completion (did you spot anything like that, Geert?).
