[H-GEN] Bus mastering

[Frank Brand]

I have found these sites with information on bus matering for VP
chipsets for anyone interested


One is available at http://www.ipass.net/~prefect/; it is designed for
  the VIA VP2/97 chipset, found on FIC's PA-2007 and PA-2011
  motherboards, but may work on related chipsets.  Note that this patch
  only supports Bus Mastering mode, not full UDMA mode, but it's still
  better than plain-vanilla EIDE mode.  Follow the directions at the
  patch's site for enabling BMDMA mode.

  There is another patch that supports full UDMA mode at
  http://www.pyreneesweb.com/Udma/udma.html, designed for the VIA
  VT82C586B, and it ought to work on the VP2, VPX, P6 and AGP Apollo
  chipsets. Follow the directions for installation and UDMA enabling
  there, but it is recommended that you back up any data you want to
  keep, as there are potential problems with incompatible motherboards.
  But, if it does work, it should work without problems.
