1) can somebody add the DMA warning issues to an FAQ so we can understand when it really means "DMA is disabled" as opposed to "your m.b. or BIOS doesn't support enabling, who knows, lets wing it" 2) flags 0x80ff80ff blows up in config on wdc but works on wd<n> instances 3) assuming when an ASUS m.b. reports the disks are mode4 compliant its not lying, does adding the flags buy me anything 4) claims LINT explains how to enable new/untrustworthy DMA are untrue as far as I can see (but then I'm hyper dumb :-) -George
