Here's one for the archives, hope someone else can find it when they
need it...

The promise interfaces are just awful for CD ripping.  I moved my CD-ROM
onto a motherboard channel as a slave and got fast, solid ripping.  The
chipset is a VIA KT400, the promise card in question is an Ultra33.  The
CD-ROM doesn't even support UDMA33.

It sucks I can't have an extra channel just for ripping - it does hurt
disk performance this way.  But proper rips are totally worth it.
