The FIFO setup thing hasn't made any noticable difference here. Speeds
are the same. IDE DMA lockups occur with the same low frequency, unless
I do hdparm -X34 which eliminates them for me.

What I'd really like to know is, can you make my VP2/97 chipset talk
UDMA? (Despite looking at FIC's web site, I still can't figure out if
it should be able to! :-)
