Not true, for the UDMA100 and UDMA133 capable ones, there are defined bits in the UDMA_TIMING register. Not all BIOSes use those, though. > - all: the busmaster 'active' bit doesn't match the actual busmaster state. > - 596B: don't touch the busmaster registers too early after interrupt > don't touch taskfile registers before stopping the busmaster! > - 686 rev 40/41 and VT8231 rev 10/11 have the PCI corruption bug!

Do you have any info on this one?
