It's actually on the same page as the Drive Fitness Test, just farther down. Go to: <http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/desk/ds75gxp.htm>; and click on Downloads, or straight to: <http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/support/download.htm>; and look for IBM Feature Tool one of whose features is: Switch the Ultra DMA mode (replaces the IBMATASW utility) There are Linux and Windows versions.
