Alan,

Do you mean Andre (UDMA) or Andrew (Jumbo/timer/UDMA).

I have separated the the new UDMA code into 2.0.35.udma.7, if that will
help.

However Andrew's new time code is functional on both of my SMP boxes
in UP and SMP kernels.

Cheers,
Andre Hedrick

BTW, I am integating Mac-IDE into 2.1.115/6, do you want to test it also.
