Regarding the PIIX4, I reran basic throughput read tests on a more recent UDMA5, 5400RPM Maxtor on the PIIX4 and HPT366 (Abit BP6 + 2.2.19p17 + ide.2.2.18.1221.patch) chipsets. Since pin 30 is plugged on my ATA66 cable, I used an Asus P3B-F as a ATA66+PIIX4 sanity check. Neither the Abit or Asus PIIX4 controller would go higher than UDMA2. Although hdparm -i reported UDMA4, neither the -tT or dd tests demonstrated faster results. The kernel logged 'ide0: Speed warnings UDMA 3/4/5 is not functional' when attempting a setting higher than UDMA2 on the PIIX4. Apparently IDE drive technology has improved over the last year, however real world PIIX4 speeds are still in the 14-19MB/s range. UDMA2/PIIX4 16-21MB/s UDMA4/HPT366 19-28MB/s rgds, tim.
