Really nice FAQ. Finally there is Amiga IDE related information that isn't filled with weird myths

Quote:
Mounting with 'IDE0' will use the scsi.device driver from the kickstart file, and you will spot errors (maxtransfer or others) already in WinUAE
Max transfer errors only appear in the log, latest version now emulates ATA-1 behavior (previous versions didn't emulate neither but generally it did cause similar problem)

ATA IDENTIFY DEVICE data is 99% generated under emulation. Only size comes from real drive.

Quote:
direct-scsi mode (SFS or PFS3 file systems).
Only old versions of SFS have direct-scsi. It was removed long time ago for some reason.


No one still hasn't explained why some CF cards and IDE drives don't work at all when connected to Amiga IDE port. (No drive gets detected) I had ~2G 2.5" drive that didn't work, but it worked fine on a PC. I assume it is some hardware timing issue that can't be fixed in software.
