And while I would never dare to compare my feeble efforts to Alan's, I have
posted on improvements to ide-scsi on linux-scsi list myself (1). 

When recently I decided to see where it stands, and tried Arjan's test 8 
kernel, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. Hence also my 
disappointment to see it disabled.

And to "nosp" - I have every intention to get out my vi, but that doesn't
help if the result won't get used.

Thanks, Willem Riede.
