DOS ain't dead

Change UDMA mode on WD400BB drive (Users)

I tried biospatcher but it ruined my bios that hung during POST. I manually reflashed the chip with original version and got same result. So I return back to rainbow's pathched bios (fix for support up to 128GB HDD). I also tried to test under WinNT 4.0 with UniATA driver and got 12MB/s reading, it's slightly better but still slow, this HDD should do ~40MB/s seq. reading.
Maybe the PIIX3 controller is crappy, I could test Kouwell 571H PCI controller with HPT370A...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
