Open source drivers for (S)ATA and VESA

[Timo Kreuzer]

Hi, I just found some interesting stuff:

Universal ATA driver (http://alter.org.ua/soft/win/uni_ata/)
- generic NT driver for DMA/UDMA ATA / SATA with source code

Universal VESA driver
- based on ReactOS vbemp.sys
- works on all windows NT and ReactOS
the author has been working on this until very recently, so it might be 
better than our current driver

Hi
His vbe modify vbe driver are full of hacks and lock to 64Kbytes no
bankswitch.
I have mail contact with him, he whant trying getting his changes into ros,
next problem is he never tells his real name. and you can not found the
correct ml adress at the website. I lost the correct concat email adress
to him. and waiting on a replay from him, he want doing a bankswitch
vesion of vbe drv and no framebuffer. it mean it will be slowers
speed drawing the graphice for it req u doing a bankswitch when
it goes over the current 64KB
