Dual P500 Win2000   ATA100    19284   5746kb/s

In the Computer management under the Driver for the HD I disabled Write
caching. This sped up the read. Which doesn't make sense. My numbers are for
the same conditions as below. I am also running autodetect.  On NTSP6 you
could get in to the Driver and see if there are any settings.
