On a slightly different topic, I was reading some old mails, and found
this in the linux kernel list (as I recall...):

Correct. Each IDE interface is a separate host. Thus the secondary is
host1.

I read this and thought, ok, this makes sense. Only problem is, I now
have exactly the same situation. My drive is /dev/hdc (or used to be),
but now it's /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd. Note host0, not host1
(there's no host1 at all). Was this momentary confusion or am I totally
missing something?
