Hi Adam,

http://www.tecchannel.de/hardware/817/index.html


We do not put ATAPI devices on such HOSTS.
The driver will not work w/ ATAPI there because it uses a different DMA
engine location and is not supported in Linux.

You will find greater success in putting your ATAPI device on the native
south bridge.

Cheers,

Andre Hedrick
