Any help would be greatly > appreciated. JLemon gave me a patch but it did not work. He needs a motherboard to make it work. No one has sent him one since the sis controller hasn't made it into current. There is a set of patchs coming down the line to make the ATA-100 controller run at UDMA-5 mode. I converted them to stable and found that it was more profitable to purchase a Promise Ultra 100 TX2. SIS @ 33 & 100 was only a couple hundred bytes/sec. The TX2 was 10% faster across the board. I may have made a mistake so I don't pass them around.
