Perhaps you should obtain the ANSI standard document that describes the ATA standard. It's number is X3T10. It can be downloaded from the internet at: ftp.dt.wdc.com/pub/standards/ata/ata3 This standard tells you _everything_ about ATA devices, from hardware, registers, commands, LBA, ATAPI, programming, DeviceID etc etc. If you don't have 'net access, I can't suggest any other sources, sorry.

If it's the ADS Cadet data radio or the Reveal radio, I EB> have written drivers for both. I picked up such a card at a recent computer/flea sale which has a Reveal sticker on the back. Would it be possible to send the source or at least the tech info, (address, irq, dma, etc) as I do not have access to the I-net. The card is marked fcc id: LCH 9020-234567, P/N: 6520-234570-02, and has two stickers on back, one marked P/N 9020-234567-01 and the other 23-023-001 with the reveal emblem. I am an amateur radio operator, and the circuitry used looks amenable to working outside the FM broadcast range.
