Paul Dorman.
I have two CMD648 PCI ATA66 controllers - one generic and one by
Leadtek. At the moment the Leadtek is installed. I have a dual PII 450
machine on a Gigabyte BXD motherboard. My current kernel is 2.4.4-ac4. I
understand that there may be hardware flaws with the CMD640 chipset. If
this is the case, is there any chance of a work-around? If not, how can
I get the best performance out of this card?
If I use hdparm to set DMA=1 on a drive attached to the controller I get
all kinds of errors when I attempt to access its filesystem:

I have:-
* Shifted cards around,
* Tried different interrupts,
* Tried THREE different 80 wire cables.
I hope this is the pertinent information...
