Aux environs du 18/05/04 à 18:21 -0400, sous le titre "[NTLK] ATA
support", Thomas Isenbarger prit sa plus belle plume pour écrire les
mots suivants:

Yes.

>a button that toggles between an x and a check mark - no idea what this

It toggles automount.

>right set of buttons:
>a button with a vertical gradient on it - is this to set the card as
>the location for new data and packages (default store)?

Yes.

>should I worry about playing with the cache sizes?

No. Set them to 30 pages each for a MP2100.

>how does ATA sleep affect the performance?

Depends on your card. Solid memory aren't affected much.
