Re: [Qemu-devel] IDE busmaster DMA support

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,

Which IDE driver do u try to write? for QEMU? or for a guest OS?

The IDE implementation of QEMU has few bugs (notice how the hack win2k
installation needs), so I would suggest to you to either try it with
BOCHS or with a trial version of VMWare.

Thanks,
Hetz
