As a matter of fact most clone implementations of IDE are not at all fully
IDE compliant. And some HD manufacturers stick to the clones implementation
and NOT the FULL IDE specs. This can cause (serious) problems when such a
drive is attached to the Amiga's IDE interface which AFAIK does a complete
implementation.

Most seen problem is the 64K buffer problem where each file >64K get's corrupted
every 64K..
