Just tested the patch, all seems well here.

All seems correct. IDE chipset used is Intel PIIX3.

Works for me =) Unfortunately, no UDMA-33/66 controllers to test with yet. Trying to get hold of Promise UDMA-66 controllers soon.
There is one fly in the ointment. I'm a bit worried about the length of special cabling I will need for UDMA 33 & 66 on my machine. It's a huge tower case and the current leads are 36" (I had some 18" cables but they were too short to reach the motherboard's controller!) What's the max. length I'll need for UDMA 66?
