	Well, given this, which sez it's NOW USING udma2 mode, and what the ide
driver was printing in your other message (hdc:DMA), it LOOKS like it's
in dma mode.  Humph.  I'm stumped.

	That's the mode my Sony DVD reader is using (udma2), and it reports
that "using dma" is ON.  Certainly, the PIIX4 chipset is capable, I just
don't know the LITEON drives.
