I'll give it a try, but I don't think the X66 will work: it is intended
for ATA/66, right ? Well the MVP3 (VT82C586B southbridge) only supports
UDMA/33, for ATA/66 I would need MVP4 (VT82C686 southbridge). At least
this is what the VIA docs say.
Besides, I'm pretty sure that the disk doesn't support it as well ...
Thanks anyway.
