-          There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE hard disks. Most people use
-          the newer enhanced driver, but this old one is still around for two
-          reasons. Some older systems have strange timing problems and seem to
-          work only with the old driver (which itself does not work with some
-          newer systems). The other reason is that the old driver is smaller,
-          since it lacks the enhanced functionality of the new one. This makes
-          it a good choice for systems with very tight memory restrictions, or
-          for systems with only older MFM/RLL/ESDI drives. Choosing the old
-          driver can save 13 KB or so of kernel memory.
-
-          If you want to use this driver together with the new one you have
-          to use "hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" kernel parameters to prevent the new
-          driver from probing the primary interface.
-
-          If you are unsure, then just choose the Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL driver
-          instead of this one. For more detailed information, read the
-          Disk-HOWTO, available from
-          <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
+          This is a very old hard disk driver that lacks the enhanced
+          functionality of the newer ones.
+
+          It is required for systems with ancient MFM/RLL/ESDI drives.
+
+          If unsure, say N.
