Re: Ultra-DMA HD, and Article in Reshet-Machsevim




Ultra-DMA drives are fully usable under Linux if and only if the chipset 
of the mainboard where they are used is supported by Linux (fully 
supported, not just 'generic' support). When used with a 
not-fully-supported chipset they default to lower speeds. 3-4 MB/sec from 
an EIDE Ultra-DMA drive with an internal (on-board) driver is about 
normal these days. Some boards give more.
