I bought four idential drives, they probe on system A:

atapci1: <Promise TX2 ATA100 controller> port 0x24c0-0x24cf,0x24d0-0x24d3,0x24d8
-0x24df,0x24d4-0x24d7,0x24e0-0x24e7 mem 0xf5000000-0xf5003fff irq 11 at device 6
.0 on pci2
ata2: at 0x24e0 on atapci1
ata3: at 0x24d8 on atapci1
ad4: 76319MB <WDC WD800BB-00CAA0> [155061/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100
ad6: 76319MB <WDC WD800BB-00CAA0> [155061/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA100

and on system B:

atapci1: <Promise ATA66 controller> port 0xcc00-0xcc3f,0xd000-0xd003,0xd400-0xd407,0xd800-0xd803,0xdc00-0xdc07 mem 0xcffe0000-0xcfffffff irq 11 at device 9.0 on pci0
ata2: at 0xdc00 on atapci1
ata3: at 0xd400 on atapci1
ad6: 76319MB <WDC WD800BB-00CAA0> [155061/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA66
ad7: 76319MB <WDC WD800BB-00CAA0> [155061/16/63] at ata3-slave UDMA66

System A is a dual Athlon 1800 MP, System B is an Athlon 1.3Ghz.

The two drives in system B perform about 30MB/s each... both read and
write ... which is to be expected (UDMA 66)

The two drives in system A perform at about 12MB/s each ... which
seems to indicate that either the TX2 sucks, or the driver is somewhat
broken.

Dave.
