Hi everyone!
Since I bought my Asus P3V133 P-III board, I was unable to use Bus Mastering in any of my harddisks. I thought it was a problem of my old Samsung HD, but I get a new Quantum HD (ATA66) and when I enable DMA (in Win98 or in OS/2) the data in the HD gets corrupted. It happend with a 133 FSB (33 Mhz PCI), I lowered it to 124 (so the PCI now runs at 31 Mhz) and the problem is still there.
I'm using the ATA66 cable that came with the mobo. Does anyone can help me? I'm stuck with PIO4 and ridiculous 7-8 Mb/s.
Oh!, Is there a problem to have my HD configured to a different Cylinder/Heads/Sectors in the BIOS from real settings? My HD's has thousands (16000 and 30000) of cylinders, and I leave the settings the BIOS auto-detected (768 (i think) cylinders for the Samsung and 1023 for the Quantum) so I can install OS/2 and Linux beyond the 1024-physical-cylinders limitation.
