The drives probably don't support any UDMA modes. WDMA modes aren't enabled for atapi devices because there's a very large number of devices which don't implement them right or not at all, yet claim to support them. You can enable whatever DMA modes those drives support with the atacontrol utility after the kernel has booted up. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
