I'm having the ol 'Windows 2000/XP won't detect proper transfer speed of devices attached to 2nd IDE channel on a VIA system board' prob.
 
Here is the registry key for my 2nd ide channel:
 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001
 
The 2 values I'm interested in are:
 
MasterDeviceTimingMode and MasterDeviceTimingModeAllowed (both dword)
 
Assuming my hunch is correct what values in the data field will enable 'Multi-Word DMA Mode 2' transfer rates? (I think that is what it was anyhow!)
 
Thanks in advance for any help given

MasterDeviceTimingModeAllowed = 0xffffffff (4294967295)

That's not quite correct...
 
MasterDeviceTimingMode = 0x00002010 (8208) This is the setting for
Ultra DMA Mode 2...
 
The setting for Multi-Word DMA Mode 2 is 0x00000410 (1040)
