Re: ATA/100 and DMA



Hi Miki,

The command that you give is actually for IMPROVING performance - with DMA, 
32 bit, bus masterting etc..

But it seems that it fails even without them, which means that in the lower 
level it doesn't talk to the DMA channel..

I have connected it to the normal IDE (not ATA 100), and it still does make 
problems. Guess it's time for going back to replace the drive...
