Positive results on 2 computers.

The first: K6-2/400, Aladdin chipset:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. M1541 (rev 04)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc.: Unknown device 5243 (rev 04)
00:03.0 Bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. M7101
00:07.0 ISA bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc. M1533 (rev c3)
00:0f.0 IDE interface: Acer Laboratories Inc. M5229 (rev c1)

ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 78
ALI15X3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xb400-0xb407, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb408-0xb40f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
hda: ST34311A, ATA DISK drive
hdb: ST34311A, ATA DISK drive
hdc: IBM-DJNA-351520, ATA DISK drive
hdd: NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:282, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
ALI15X3: Ultra DMA enabled
hda: ST34311A, 4126MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=8944/15/63, UDMA(33)
ALI15X3: Ultra DMA enabled
hdb: ST34311A, 4126MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=526/255/63, UDMA(33)
ALI15X3: Ultra DMA enabled
hdc: IBM-DJNA-351520, 14664MB w/430kB Cache, CHS=29795/16/63, (U)DMA
ALI15X3: MultiWord DMA enabled
hdd: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, (U)DMA

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 10.82 seconds = 5.91 MB/sec
/dev/hdb:
 Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 4.10 seconds =15.61 MB/sec
/dev/hdc:
 Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 4.32 seconds =14.81 MB/sec

Strange that hda is slower than hdb, since these disks are identical.

The second system has the same chipset _I think_, also a K6-2/400.
1 IBM UDMA disk (about 13G, yielding 12.x MB/s) and a cdrom.
