I have tried only with two PCI-IDE s with one disk connected to each of them
(as masters)...which doesn't work......any problems with this configuration?

talking about ATA driver, has anybody tried the driver with multi-PCI IDE s
?? (WinCE 4.2)
I am facing a peculiar problem here with the upper byte of every word read
from the data register being 0 (which obviously is a problem for both
Identify Data and PIO modes)..This happens only when I work with multi (have
tried it only with two) PCI-IDE s and this corruption happens only with the
pci IDE card which has a greater PCI Device number. The pci IDE card with
lesser PCI Device Number works just fine.
With one PCI - IDE device, it works fine.
