I'd be glad to test any patches....In the meantime, is
there an older patch that will work + apply relatively cleanly to
2.2.19?

On the same cable? I seem to get better data rates (according
to testing with hdparm) if the newer drives are the masters. It only
amounts to a few tenths of a MB/sec, though, so I suppose the
old drive could be the secondary master on the cable with the
DVD-ROM. Would this help?

Thanks for your help!
