Hello everybody, I had contact with Jack Ellis, and he claims that there are NO systems (that he knows about), where UDMA leaves it in a unusable state. maybe it won't work(accelerate), but at least it doesn't break the system. So UDMA could be used as default driver on ANY system. are there ANY

Thank you Bernd for steering this good effort by Tom away from semantics and back on track. @Tom I will send you any info on non-working hardware I get from my NwDsk end-users. Since I provide an escape-option in config.sys to choose when experiencing errors like this, the response might be low
