Re: [newbie] DMA 33 stuff

    I'm running 7.0 and I understand a kernel patch (or upgrade) is required 
for /66 hard drive support.  My WesternDigital hard drive has a utility to 
enable or disable /66, and disabled IS /33 which is supported without 
modifications.  In /33 mode I set hdparm -c3d1 (after testing) as discussed 
in newbie a couple of weeks ago and my speed went from 3MB to 19.8+MB with no 
other modifications.  I don't know, yet, what the /66 use would do to the 
final result.
