i have one of these old HP7200i cd-rw (IDE) devices that need dma
turned-off in order for a successful burn/write session:

ie: #hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc

Otherwise, I get buffer-underruns and or the kernel locks-up horribely.

I believe i also had some issues with devfs & this ide cd-rw. forget
tho.

thought i'd post this to ensure that it's atleast known about.

Again, yes, i need to turn-off dma for this cd-rw only. (my other hdd's
have dma turned on, etc).  I think in the specs, it even says nothing
about dma, etc.
