OK, I made device nodes andnow it works fine.

Can I ask how ? In documentation is example, but it is with two
physical devices on the same port. But I have two disks in the same
device.
I was reading pd.c and I tested argument <slv> with this results :
[[root@mbenes /]#insmod pd drive0=0x378,,,5,,,,0 verbose=1
pd: pd version 1.05, major 45, cluster 64, nice 0
pda: epat: port 0x378, mode 5, ccr 0, test=(0,0,0)
pda: epat 1.01, Shuttle EPAT chip c5 at 0x378, mode 5 (EPP-32), delay
0
pda: Maxtor 90288D2, master, 5627664 blocks [2747M], (5583/16/63),
fixed media
pda: pda1 pda2 < pda5 >
<slv> = 0, detecting master drive. OK
[[root@mbenes /]#insmod pd drive0=0x378,,,5,,,,1 verbose=1
pd: pd version 1.05, major 45, cluster 64, nice 0
pda: epat: port 0x378, mode 5, ccr 0, test=(0,0,0)
pda: epat 1.01, Shuttle EPAT chip c5 at 0x378, mode 5 (EPP-32), delay
0
pda: Maxtor 82160D2, slave, 4219425 blocks [2060M], (4465/15/63),
fixed media
pda: pda1
<slv> = 1, detecting slave drive. OK
[[root@mbenes /]#insmod pd drive0=0x378,,,5,,,,0 drive1=0x378,,,5,,,,1
verbose=1
pd: pd version 1.05, major 45, cluster 64, nice 0
pda: epat: port 0x378, mode 5, ccr 0, test=(0,0,0)
pda: epat 1.01, Shuttle EPAT chip c5 at 0x378, mode 5 (EPP-32), delay
0
pda: Maxtor 90288D2, master, 5627664 blocks [2747M], (5583/16/63),
fixed media
pdb: Adapter not found
pda: pda1 pda2 < pda5 >
This combination would detect both master and slave drives (?). But
it detects only firt drive from command line. Which parameter is
incorrectly set ? Or using two drives is impossible ?
