I found the following in the all the drivers (Windows 3.11, OS/2, NetWare,
NT, Windows 95) for my SiS PCI UDMA 5513 IDE chipset.

And this was in the DMA drivers for Windows 95 (I think they set DMA
mode on by default)

So someone that has a little more experience in this area might want to
conntact SiS about this. I can also send you the drivers if you want to
look at them yourself.
