-***  "CMD" EIDE Interfaces will not (by default) work *reliably* when drives

-***  hardware.  To "fix" this, supply the special kernel "command line"

-***  "CMD 640B" EIDE Interfaces will not work *reliably* when "hdparm -u1"
-***  (interrupt unmasking) is used.  This is due to a flaw in the hardware,
-***  and is only a problem when "hdparm -u1" is used after booting.

-***  "RZ1000" EIDE Interfaces will also not work *reliably* when "hdparm -u1"

-***  Failure to abide by these restrictions can cause severe data corruption!

 IDE port in this situation, use the "command line" parameter:  ide0=0x1f0
