This drive worked fine under wcd. It would be kind of disconcerting to be
told that my CD is no longer supported and I have to buy a new one.

It works fine afterwards, but according to
http://www.westerndigital.com/products/drives/specs/oldspecs/AC26400.html
it is certainly DMA-capable. It *does* say, interestingly, that older
versions cannot do Ultra ATA 66 (I purchased this as an Ultra ATA 66
drive, but..). I'll see what the diagnostic utility has to say about
it.
