    I do understand your point. On the other hand, look at the number of
    groups.google.com hits for "READ_DMA TIMEOUT". Quite a few people seem to
    have suddenly developed problems with systems that'd been working fine until
    recently.

    I've always been very careful to avoid even the appearance of assigning
    blame in favor of giving factual problem reports. I understand that you
    can't possibly test every hardware combination being used. However, I do
    think that the recent rash of ATA-related problems would seem to indicate
    that there may be a few general issues that aren't directly related to one
    exact set of hardware.

    I do appreciate the work you've done, and I certainly don't want to sound
    like I'm criticizing, but I've been having problems with my system and I've
    just been trying to report them as accurately as possible.
