Andre, he wrote "old triton 2 board (Intel 430HX)". Do you really mean
you can do 30MB/sec on that board (no UDMA at all, AFAIK)?

Kernel is a 2.2.16 RedHat-patched but not IDE-patched. I suppose I could get
more with your patches (but really? DMA seems to work, it's just a pre UDMA
chipset, AFAIK), but I doubt I could go over the 25.10 MB/sec thing.
It'a an *old* MB, with a *slow* CPU (133MHz).

00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371FB PIIX IDE [Triton I] (rev 02)
(OK, mine is a 430FX, even older than Michael's one. The chipset is buggy,
I think, since doesn't let you go DMA on the second IDE channel. But a
430HX should be close in performance).
The DPTA-372050 does 20MB/sec on an Athlon MB, BTW. A DTLA-307030 does
35.5MB/sec on AMD-751/6-based boards (UDMA/66). But you know that... B-)
