It seems that one person says that V/AT will work with IDE drives when
another person says MICROPORT does not support IDE drives. Now what is
the real answer! I asked about compatibuility on IDE drives and I get E-mail
from a guy that says he has his V/AT working with IDE drives, then another
person comes along saying MICROPORT itself says it won't work. Now who do
you believe. Can we get someone here from MICROPORT to post about the
compatabuility of the IDE drives with their products???? I am disapointed
a tad bit now with microport. They want people to buy their products, but
they have never sent me any infomation on updates and so fourth. I know
they are just getting back to bussiness again, but come on. The loyal users
of microport products should be on the top of the mailing lists rather
than the NEW users. Not since I have been a users of their products have
I ever received any update/upgrade information on the 386 or 486 products.
I would like to upgrade, but it seems they don't give a danm..
OkOK, enough of the microport slam...
I just want a company that cares about their current users and not the NEW
ones.

There is not a contradiction between the statements that someone has Microport working with an ide drive ( which I believe since the ide interface is supposed to emulate standard AT registers) and a statement by Microport that ide is not supported by V/At. Not supported can simpley mean ide didn't exist when v/at came out and thus has not been tested by them, and therefore they are not prepared to be responsible for it.
