This does not work, it looks like tho script affects harddisks only. I see
two options, one is to turn on dma in rc.local as I have done, and the second
is to uninstall hdparm so that rc.sysinit can't turn off dma.
The copy and modify procedure given above worked perfectly for me.
This is exactly what I did by following the directions in rc.sysinit.
I have Lite-On DVD and Lite-On CDRW, both run better with DMA enabled.
This *is* the correct procedure I believe (and it works for me).
