RE: CFA 4.0 patch

[Andre Hedrick (anhedric)]

Hi Alan,

You betcha, otherwise I would not have a case.

STEC configed to MWDMA4 (Max reported as UDMA/66)

-> ShowCFDriveInfo()
CompactFlash Identify Drive (0xEC)
Word 0: 0x044A
Word 1: 0x07C2
Word 2: 0x0000
Word 3: 0x0010
Word 4: 0x0000
Word 5: 0x0200
Word 6: 0x003F
Word 7: 0x001E
Word 8: 0x8BE0
Word 9: 0x0000
Word 10: 0x2053

Viking configed to MWDMA2 (Max reported as MWDMA2)

-> ShowCFDriveInfo()
CompactFlash Identify Drive (0xEC)
Word 0: 0x044A
Word 1: 0x07AA
Word 2: 0x0000
Word 3: 0x0010
Word 4: 0x0000
Word 5: 0x0240
Word 6: 0x003F
Word 7: 0x001E
Word 8: 0x2D60
Word 9: 0x0000
Word 10: 0x564D

Now I only have data for the 0x044A case, but it is on par with the CFA
4.0 spec that I can send you if you want a copy.

Oh yeah, just so you know I am coming out of retirement and tinkering
with the other insanity, security.

Cheers,
Andre

Do you have test case hardware for this that fails the other checks.
I've
never ever come across any. I don't believe it exists at this point.

Also 2.6.32 is some years ago 8)
