That sort of hints that there's some issue with the cabling, as UDMA33 is
the highest you can go on a 40wire IDE cable. Going beyond requires an
80wire cable

data corruption when processing large amounts of data.

I am seeing a problem with ata disks on 4 new systems, which
I believe is either a bug in the ata driver, or a problem with
the onboard IDE controller, or something else. Systems are as follows:
Motherboard: ASUS A7M266-D
CPUs : 2 x 2000+ AMD MP
Memory : 2 x 512MB Crucial part: CT6472Y
