That just about makes sense, with the weirdnesses I've seen with this mobo in 
the past.  I'll give that a go and let y'all know what I find.  I've got the 
ATACD on its own channel because I've hit issues in the past with having a 
DMA and PIO device on the same channel with this controller, but from reading 
my boot messages this morning my CD drive thinks it supports UDMA 33.  Go 
fig.

I should probably also sup the machine past DP2, but it's just been so 
wonderfully stable...I'm so used to using -stable that this feels like 
pushing my luck. :-)

Thanks!
