Umm, since the only 2 controllers in the machine are the VIA Vt82C686A and
the Promise PDC20265, yes I AM running drives on the VIA controller.
I have NO drives on the ATA100 controller which is the Promise
controller. Everything is running off the VIA.

Yes, that was a typo. My apologies. It _should_ have been a k not an M.

OK, here are quite a few outputs.
