We've got several of them (VIA MVP4, 128 MB SDRAM, I assume it's PC100):
atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA66 controller> port 0xd000-0xd00f at device 7.1 on pci0
ad0: 19574MB <IBM-DPTA-372050> [39770/16/63] at ata0-master using UDMA66

(exactly the same config as it seems, we're using very short (<10cm)
UDMA33 cables and it works like a charm)

JFTR, another box (Asus P5A, Mach64, 128 MB PC133 SDRAM):
atapci0: <AcerLabs Aladdin ATA33 controller> port 0xb400-0xb40f irq 0 at device
15.0 on pci0
ata0-master: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 compliant cable
ad0: 26105MB <IBM-DPTA-372730> [53040/16/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33
ad2: 26105MB <IBM-DPTA-372730> [53040/16/63] at ata1-master using UDMA33
(this uses a standard (40cm?) UDMA33 cables)

All are running just fine, the ALi Chipset, however, is somewhat
slower than the VIA ones.


Best regards,
 Gabriel
