Nope.
Tried this. got the same result:
< HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted>

Interesting note though:  AFter unplugging the drive cable
from the Zip drive and rebooting, I expected kudzu to pop up
to tell me it couldn't find the zip drive, but I got no such
message. It always pops up with a similar message if I fail
to turn on a printer or scanner before turning on the box.

I also have reviewed the pitiful mobo manual supplied by Intel.
There are no jumper settings for changing the configuration of
the onboard EIDE controllers.
