Re: Update on Promise 100TX2 + Serverworks IDE issues -- 2.2.20

[Jeff Nguyen]

There are ATAPI devices using UDMA25 such as HP 9300i. These UDMA25
devices are the problem maker on OSB4. Unless DMA is disabled, the system
will lock up when accessing the drive.

If you have UDMA33 ATAPI devices, they work great in OSB4.
