A while ago I was having ridiculous problems with no DMA and no way to change from PIO 'til Chewy suggested that I download a motherboard mod file which solved the problem but left some unanswered question.
I got in touch with the mobo manufacturer and it turns out that the board is designed for SATA interface and to get the best out of it I would need to change my optical drives to SATA and that the computer manufacturer should have known this.
I got in touch with the manufacturer pointing the problem out and, surprise surprise, two new optical SATA drives arrived in the post and all is running smoothly and VERY fast.
