At least my workstation argues otherwise. Here is my dmesg output: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0x800080ff on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC31600H>, 32-bit, multi-block-16 wd0: 1549MB (3173184 sectors), 3148 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <CREATIVE CD821E/1.05>, removable, dma, iordis wcd0: 0Kb/sec, 240Kb cache, audio play, 255 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: no disc inside, unlocked As you see, I have a disk in 32-bit mode and a CD on the primary channel.
