HI, just come across this, my 460 came prebuilt from AmigaKit as well, i typed the same command in and this is what came back.

I take it that means my devices are running in pio mode as well ?.
And just to double check i type need to type the same command in as above ?.
Sorry if the above sounds dumb but I've only had the 460 about 3 weeks and dont want to stuff it up already

Re: DMA on sii3114 on Sam460ex
You are correct either type this in a shell to leave optical drive in best PIO mode (arguably more correct)
NVSetVar sii3114ide_xfer 0GGG
or type this in a shell
NVSetVar sii3114ide_xfer GGGG
NVSetVar sii3114ide_xfer 0GGG
or type this in a shell
NVSetVar sii3114ide_xfer GGGG
