Using Haiku IDE driver on R5?

Forum thread started by marcone on Sat, 2005-08-13 00:27

The Haiku IDE driver appears to be an updated version of the "IDE replacement driver" that can be found on BeBits. Would it be possible to use the Haiku IDE driver on an R5 system? If so, how? I tried building and installing the files, but it didn't seem to work.

The Haiku FS API isn't compatible with R5 one, hence Haiku IDE driver isn't compatible with R5.

Isn't the IDE device just a block device, and therefore independent of the filesystem API?

Sorry I meant the Haiku driver API ...

Is that just the IDE driver API that's different then? There are several Haiku graphics and sound drivers on BeBits that supposedly work with R5.

Haiku is implementing a new driver api which the IDE driver uses (and isn't compatible with R5). Haiku also supports R5 driver API for compatibility (which is used by common graphics/audio/network drivers)
