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.
