Subject: Legacy IDE driver for Buddha IDE is still in use
Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2019 19:10:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6c74d6b1-1dad-e76e-6499-b677991c40c4@enpas.org> (raw)

Hi [linux-ide],

Just popping in to respond to your deprecating the legacy IDE stack [1].


First of all, thanks for providing a grace period and for pointing people to [linux-ide].

I'd like to mention that there are still users left for the Buddha IDE controller for the Amiga (at least myself), and its driver [2] has still not been ported to libata.

Given that the Buddha IDE has been re-released in 2018 and is still being produced in 2019 [3, 4], I'd say this card is far from dead. As for the Amiga itself, a kernel as recent as 4.19 (from Debian sid) boots on my Amiga 2000 quite nicely - great work!


For the time being, I'd just like to raise my hand and say "yes, this driver is still in use". Maybe I'll get to port it in the future, but until then I have to tend to other things first.


Thanks for keeping the IDE stack alive,

Max
