Re: [hatari-devel] Re: IDE byte swapping options

No, does not look OK. Please don't change "it is" to "it's" (since that is colloquial) and don't use single generic names for things that are related to a specific subsystem. Something like "--ide-swap" would be more adequate.

If yes, attached patch "should" implement such option for IDE
partition counting. If it works fine, same options can be used
to toggle swapping for rest of IDE handling too.

Thanks for the patch, that's a first step... but actually, I think this
area (especially the HD dialog in the GUI) needs a major clean-up, e.g.
I also need to add SCSI setup to the GUI, add support for multiple ACSI
images, fix the nomenclature for IDE ("master" and "slave" is
nonstandard, the official terms are IDE 0 and IDE 1), etc.

Using "--byteswap master" to only enable byteswapping is also a bad
idea - what if a user already enabled byteswapping in the config file
and wants to disable it on the CLI again?

So I'd appreciate if you could hold back your patch, I'll take care of
this, I just need to find some spare time to work on this...

You've added the functionality and SDL GUI code, but command line
option seems to be still missing.

Does the attached patch look OK?
