  *	  the observation that WRITEs work most of the time, depending on
  *	  cache-buffer occupancy, but multi-sector reads seldom work.

- * Drives like the AC31000H could likely be made to work if all DMA were done
- * one sector at a time, but that would likely negate any advantage over PIO.
+ * Testing was done with a Gigabyte GA-586 ATE system and the following drive:

+ *   Western Digital AC31600H (1.6Gig w/128kB buffer), DMA mode2, PIO mode4.
+ *	- much better than its 1Gig cousin, this drive is reported to work
+ *	  very well with DMA (7.3MB/sec).

  * If you have any drive models to add, email your results to:  mlord@bnr.ca
  * Keep an eye on /var/adm/messages for "DMA disabled" messages.
