I am just wondering at what speeds you operate your IDE busses in the
T21. By default even linux-2.4.9 selects idebus=33. I have experimented
with appending "idebus=66" to the kernel commandline and so far it seems
to work with that speed too. I have not done any elaborate performance
comparisions. At idebus=66 setting I get:

  [root@blackbox baiti]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  0.99 seconds =129.29 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  4.05 seconds = 15.80 MB/sec


has anybody tried ata100 mode? Is that supported by the hardware at all?
