- * Testing was done with a Gigabyte GA-586 ATE system and the following drive:

- *
- *   Western Digital AC31600H (1.6Gig w/128kB buffer), DMA mode2, PIO mode4.
- *	- much better than its 1Gig cousin, this drive is reported to work
- *	  very well with DMA (7.3MB/sec).
+ * Drives like the AC31000H could likely be made to work if all DMA were done
+ * one sector at a time, but that would likely negate any advantage over PIO.

  * If you have any drive models to add, email your results to:  mlord@bnr.ca
  * Keep an eye on /var/adm/messages for "DMA disabled" messages.
