OK - I just thought it might have been a typo.

Its quite a cheap and nasty thing, but it works. I'll have a look
when I get home and check.

I'll have to check again when I get home.

I actually have three drives and a cdrom on the two IDE busses, but it
only seems to complain about the first one - I don't know if that is
because it is the first one it tries to access or becauser the others
work OK. I didn't take down the details of the other drives 'cos it
takes ages to copy the stuff down. I did notice that it programed
wd1 with transfer mode 22. Maybe I should try to take wd0 out of fstab
and see if it works OK with wd1. I'll try it with a lower DMA transfer
size too.
