the problem is probably easier resolved by using another IDE controller, I highly reccomend the Promise ATA/100 and ATA/66 series(have not tried the ATA/133). DMA problems are most often caused by buggy IDE controllers or perhaps the driver. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
