Sure, though there is only one drive in this machine, so there is no
problems with channel colissions...

Well, looks like I get similar performance w/ UDMA4 aka UDMA66:
Transfer rates:
        outside:       102400 kbytes in   2.828054 sec =    36209 kbytes/sec
        middle:        102400 kbytes in   3.506356 sec =    29204 kbytes/sec
        inside:        102400 kbytes in   5.641238 sec =    18152 kbytes/sec

Note, I didn't reboot just before switching to UDMA4...
