Related to this, there is yet another VIA KT133 bug when using some ATAPI
drives (like Iomega ATAPI ZIP 100 drives), mentioned at
http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0104.0/0041.html. This bit me a
couple of days ago when I was trying to copy files from a crashed hard drive to
the ZIP drive, though that was on a MSI board. It seems more and more like
manufacturers can't produce stable hardware anymore.
