        Hello,

        I use a Toshiba-Laptop with a Toshiba 'Flipdisk'.
        It has an adapter signed 'PT-IDE' with an
        'OnSpec 90c26 parallel to IDE adapter chip.

        I know, it's not good to say, but with W98 it
        runs very well.

        With linux happens this :

        First I load the modules : paride, on26 and pd.

        insmod paride
        insmod on26
        insmod pd verbose=5

        What I get, is this :

        Jun 22 06:14:02 cal kernel: paride: version 1.04 installed
        Jun 22 06:14:09 cal kernel: paride: on26 registered as protocol 0
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pd: pd version 1.05, major 45, cluster
    64, nice 0
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: on26: port 0x3bc, mode 0,
    test=(255,255)
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: on26: port 0x3bc, mode 1,
    test=(255,255)
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: 0x378 is parport0
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: on26: port 0x378, mode 0,
    test=(0,0)
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: on26: port 0x378, mode 1,
    test=(255,255)
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: on26: port 0x378, mode 2,
    test=(255,255)
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: on26: port 0x378, mode 3,
    test=(255,255)
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: on26: port 0x378, mode 4,
    test=(255,255)
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: Sharing parport0 at 0x378
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: on26 1.04, OnSpec 90c26 at 0x378,
    mode 0 (4-bit), delay 1
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: TOSHIBA MK1301, master, 2654064
    blocks [1295M],(2633/16/63), fixed media
        Jun 22 06:15:03 cal kernel: pda: pda1 < pda5 >

        I can mount the 'pda5' partition, but when I want to use it,
        the system stops, mostly with no return ( "RESET" ).

        The protocol said :

        Jun 22 06:16:05 cal kernel: pda: do_pd_write_drg: status = 0x14444 =
    ECC READY ABRT UNC TMO
        Jun 22 06:16:45 cal last message repeated 2 times
        Jun 22 06:17:03 cal kernel: pda: do_pd_write_drg: status = 0x14444 =
    ECC READY ABRT UNC TMO
        Jun 22 06:17:04 cal kernel: pda: OUCH: request list changed
    unexpectedly
        Jun 22 06:19:02 cal kernel: pda: do_pd_write_drg: status = 0x14444 =
    ECC READY ABRT UNC TMO
        Jun 22 06:20:04 cal kernel: pda: do_pd_write_drg: status = 0x14444 =
    ECC READY ABRT UNC TMO
        Jun 22 06:21:42 cal last message repeated 17 times

        AND THEN THERE IS NO WAY, ONLY 'reset' ( I hate it ! ).

        I use a standard 2.2.14 Kernel, and while the test, there is nothing
    else running.

        I hope someone has made better experience then me.

        Who can give me an advice ?

        mike
