Little problem:

I will use UDMA with my HD Maxtor DiamonMax 3400 (master on primary, with
Quantum Fireball - PIO 4 as slave) and the AOpen 36-speed CD-drive (master
on secondary, with Philips CDD 3610 CD-RW - PIO 3 as slave).

If I enable UDMA in the BIOS, WIN98 hangs. When I disable UDMA in the BIOS
and let WIN98 detect the Maxtor-HD and the Aopen-CD-drive, everything  seems
to be OK: the DMA-boxes in the drivers panel are clicked in each case.

Test results with WinTune 98:
    Cached Disk = 43,104 MB/s
    Uncached Disk = 1,792 MB/s

After reading several messages in this NG, I am confused, apparently both
the BIOS and the DMA-box must be enabled in order to have UDMA.

Now, is my HD using UDMA or not ???

Thanks and regards,
Willy
