5 Yes, I know it is unmaintained and deprecated, I'm looking for a
6 rational reason to move to the SATA driver when the PATA one works well
7 with my old drives. The PATA drives are probably going to die before the
8 PATA driver is moved out of the kernel (if ever) so I might as well wait
9 for the switch till I need new hardware, or not?
