I am going to have to talk to Juan at Directron about that. Something
is not right.

I looked in Device Manager and all it said about the IDE channel that
my 3540 is connected to is that it is UltraDMA. I know my mainboard
supports UDMA 133, so I believe the writeup on the Directron website
is in error - probably a transcription from a much earlier product
that did support UDMA33.

Anyway, are you sure that UDMA33 is all that bad for the 3550? I would
not know since I have never put one on a slow computer.
