| After a lot of work to fix the boot delays, the gamma release of Daniela">d.engert@odn.de">Daniela Engert"s enhanced S506 driver has been made available. The frozen feature set is: - Supports the VIA 586 IDE controller fully (including undocumented bits)
- Supports the VIA 596 IDE controller (experimental)
- Supports the ALi 5229 IDE controller
- Supports the SiS 5513 IDE controller
- Generic busmaster support (very arcane)
- No need for chipset initialization by the BIOS (INTEL, VIA, ALi and SiS)
- Ultra33-DMA on all supported chipsets
- ATA-66 on ALi and SiS (experimental)
- Faster PIO due to 32bit IO
- Sets device inactivity timers (POWERSV.SYS is no longer needed)
- Supports devices which don"t spin up automatically
- Optional limit data transfer rates for more reliability
- Adapts/auto-adapts chip timings to PCI clock
