I'm completely at a loss as to how the ata driver could be responsible
for your inability to read these disks. I don't have a copy of your
original problem report to hand, but since I have all the hardware here
I'd appreciate it if you could be a little more explicit about your
problem.
The ata driver just moves bytes; it doesn't give a damn what they are.
