Try only to realise the truth : Comment 105 of 335 | ANN.lu |
Posted by For Thomas Friend, Hyperion, Eytech and co on 05-Jul-2004 06:08 GMT | In reply to Comment 62 (Thomas Frieden): "The answer is quite simple. The DMA driver was very new at the time of the prerelease. Naturally, new software is risky to release. Since we know the DMA issue is kind of sensitive, we wanted to be absolutely sure that there is no bug in a1ide.device. Otherwise, all those nice people like you would jump to conclusion and shout "The Articia S is buggy" all over the place, regardless of whether it's a software error or not. People like you would not care, nor ask.
Therefore, we decided not to release the DMA driver. It's as simple as that, and I think it's a sensible approach.
Happy flaming."
You misunderstand.
The point is here is not to discuss about the "possibility" to make a DMA drvier without cache coherency.
The point is to show that the ArticiaS is crap unless that you, Hyperion and Eyetech trying to say.
Will you argue that no cache coherency is a feature ? Because you have to flush everything by yourself ?
And what about the SE one, this one will never work. Even if you do all that is needed to don't trust Cache coherency.
I'm really curious to have you anwser. |
