Win98 SE 48bit LBA support for esdi_506.pdr driver
Dear MS Customer Support!
I would like to convince You to enhance support for esdi_506.pdr IDE driver, becouse all current Intel based PC systems (chipset 865/875/915/925 with 48Bit BIOS suport) has controllers which use esdi_506.pdr driver to handle IDE drives. As all we know there is no support of large IDE 48-bit for drives connected using esdi_506.pdr as channel controller driver. The original Intel Application Accellerator doesn't suport Windows 98SE/ME systems for large drives for chipsets 865/875/915/925 (only chipsets i860 and olders are supported by this application). These Intel chipsets: 865/875/915/925 offers driver for Hard Disk Controller (82801EB) but it uses esdi_506.pdr IDE driver which is limited to 32-bit LBA acess. It is very simple for You to enhance support becouse You have source code of esdi_506.pdr IDE driver. There is a big demand for all people who have to use Win98SE system for software-test purposes or use it every day to have possibility to work on large IDE drives. Regards, Mike. |
