I don't care that much, and I don't expect the vendor to support it for that long (typically I'm more optimistic, but it seems I know too much about how bad the world in reality is now). > Basically: > > o Disable PCI master read caching > o Lower PCI latency to "0-32" > o Disable PCI delay transaction > > Yes, it's ugly on your PCI throughput; you are better off adding > an IDE interface on a PCI card, IMO. I'm a little bit confused now... atapci0: port 0xd000-0xd00f at device 7.1 on pci0 viapropm0: port 0x5000-0x500f at device 7.4 on pci0 pcm0: port 0xe400-0xe403,0xe000-0xe003,0xdc00-0xdcff irq 5 at device 7.5 on pci0 I think I should look at the chip itself...
