udma2 is safe--it is only 33Mhz which is in the range of 32-byte CRCs which 
the drives can do.  The 57-byte CRCs required by udma3 and up 66-133MHz are 
beyond the capabilities of the 102 and maybe beyond the 80Mb as well; I have 
not kept up on the product through its most recent cycles since they seemed 
unwilling to change their policies.
