Re: ATA Cascade + Distance...

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=E9rard_Roudier?=]

Could you please stop bashing our ears with ATA jerk on this list, please.
Note that all the noise about ATA often failing miserably is already too
much.

As far as I know, great O/Ses _have_ preferred SCSI since decade. On the
other hand, IDE has been decadent since decade and ATA looks like nothing
but bastard.

IDE and ATA bastard successor exist nowadays because this was just enough
for O/Ses like MS/DOS and WINDOWS that were (and still are) used at doing
nothing most of the time. It would be sad if all this ATA jerk has
something to do with Linux falling, because of its success, into this O/S
category.
