I checked it now with an old 486-DX50 EISA+VLB board (rare combination ;))
with a Goldstar Prime 2 and an Acer M5105 ISA Controller. Both detect and
work fine with this harddisk. No idea what mode they work but I guess it
is PIO 0-whatever only - no DMA involved....

Damn this drives me nuts.... either I accept it, or I get a logic analyzer
but the cost of such a thing..... :/
