From what I see in the BIOS it just says DMA Mode and then Enabled or

can tell you UDMA 133 was not an official spec, a least at first. It

Hi everyone. I've had a thread going here on the lists about DMA
problems in 133 mode. In a nutshell, some drives give DMA_WRITE and
DMA_READ errors when in 133 mode with certain configurations, however
don't have any problems in 100 or 66 mode. After looking in to many
solutions I think I'm
to solve the DMA problems, but if not I think the
easiest is trying to downgrade it to UDMA100 on boot, which is what this
post is about.

Very good idea. This is an excellent plan, especially if you already have
