I have an intel pd440fx (slot1) motherboard with win98se installed. I also use a sd to ide adapter. Whenever I check DMA for the adapter, i start having all kinds of problems--blue screens, failed write operations, and so on. I noticed, however, that my cdrom drive has DMA checked in device manager and seems to have no issues whatsoever. Now the 440fx chipset does not support UltraDMA, but I have not been able to determine if it supports any kind of dma for storage devices. Also, I see no mention of DMA at all in the BIOS. How did the cdrom drive get its DMA checkbox checked? Should i uncheck it? Thanks in advance.
