Dell PowerEdge 400SC, 6.2-PRERELEASE (altho this is an old issue) dmesg says: acd0: DMA limited to UDMA33, controller found non-ATA66 cable acd0: DVDR <LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S/BS0K> at ata1-master UDMA33 cd0: 33.000MB/s transfers The controller is properly probed as, "atapci0: <Intel ICH5 UDMA100 controller>" This DVD isn't writing discs as fast as other brands on other machines and OS's (such as MacOS X). Lite-On has a newer firmware that I have not tried. But first was checking for any sort of errors or irregularities and came across this mismatch. Lite-On says "Supported transfer mode : PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2 and Ultra DMA mode 2", so is there something I should do to my FreeBSD to make this device happier? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
