I probably should look for some utility that actually can report the truth
(and not just what the BIOS screen allows me to select there), as my system
IS capable of running in Ultra Mode 5. (And the newer P11 Intel BIOS
recognizes that, but it is incompatible with this microprocessor upgrade -
already BTDT).


How about SmartUDM? It's a DOS application, so it should tell you how
the drive is configured after the POST.


Everest Home Edition (for Windows) produces the following report for a
Fujitsu MPF3204AT in a socket 7 box:

Max. PIO Transfer Mode PIO 4
Max. UDMA Transfer Mode UDMA 4 (ATA-66)
Active UDMA Transfer Mode UDMA 2 (ATA-33)
