1.3.something. Or you can get the 1.2.13 kernel patch that includes a lot of
the fixes made in the 1.3 ide.c from:

ftp://src.doc.ic/packages/linux/sunsite.unc-mirror/kernel/patches/diskdrives/ide-1..2..13..patch..gz

...or your nearest sunsite mirror.

Or you could do what I do and only use the primary channel of the CMD640
which seems OK.

Alex.
