I have some AOpen 52x/32x CD-RWriter, that advertises itself as DMA capable,
but has a hard time sustaining such access. The only way to make access to
this drive safe is by reducing it to PIO-3 even on XP, which makes libata
somewhat unusable on this drive, especially for writing.

What's hindering the ability to force a mode in libata, as is possible with
the normal ide-driver?


Thanks!
