ATAng Driver Preview for FreeBSD 33
Dan writes "Soeren Schmidt announces the availability of the first preview release of ATAng drivers for FreeBSD. Before these rather radical changes to the ATA driver hits the tree, here is the opportunity to test them out, give useful feedback and for the depending subsytems to adjust to the new ways of things (burncd & atapicam are good examples). These drivers provide the framework for supporting new ATA controllers that have facilities for chaining commands and HW XOR's etc. These changes also facilitate merge of ATA and ATAPI code, as well make full use of fx Promise's new chips."

I would like it if the ATA/ATAPI driver was implemented to use CAM...
The big advantage of that would be all disk storage is accessed through da0... etc.
I just think it would be much tidier...
