Various issues

Several things that annoy me about this page:

  • The code requires longmode
  • The code does not check for error messages
  • The code does not document the input properly - it can't be used as-is
  • The code does not document several magic numbers, and it's hardwired for a specific drive.
  • There already exists several ATA pages, including sample code. Why do we need a new one?

Merge with ATA? Discard the page altogether? Rewrite the code? - Combuster 09:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
