There were Major warning on Japanese page of doing it. Newer BIOS TOOL
has issue doing this hack. You need 1.09 versdion. 1.11 and later is no
good.
I remember there was ATA66 controller with 1 resistor hack. Basically
it is software assisted raid with some hardware acceleration if I recall
it right.
The way this site describe this new hack sounds like a same thing.
2 register and hardwiring. BIOS rewite.
