^^^^^^^

Andrew and Michel,

Is our patch valid only for VP3 and not for VP1/VP2?

Second, I have discovered the hardware that ide interfaces go only
as fast as the slowest device. There may be a timing error due to
device or conflicts or something of this nature.

What do you say?

This may be a case of individual device tuning of the chipset.
