I do read testing with 

dd if=/dev/rwd0 of=/dev/null bs=1024k count=(at least 20).

I get 13 MB/s on my Seagate Medalist Pro 9140 this way.

wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <ST39140A>, DMA, 32-bit, multi-block-16
wd0: 8693MB (17803440 sectors), 17662 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

st-lcremean:~ $ dd if=/dev/rwd0 of=/dev/null bs=1024k count=30
30+0 records in
30+0 records out
31457280 bytes transferred in 2.295490 secs (13703950 bytes/sec)

However, if it only does 2.4MB/s writing on the Acer, it may be that UDMA
isn't getting enabled correctly. Which rev of ide_pci.c do you have? 

PS: I can put up the M1543 programmer's manual on my machine if you want to
fix it; I don't have my Acer board here anymore, so can't do this myself.
