I have performed several tests on different boards with the three drives and the newest SB04 firmware. I had problems with two of the boards I tested.

The first is the ECS P4M800PRO-M-----VIA P4M800Pro&VT8237R+ chipset. In Windows explorer, DVD-rs could not be read as master or slave on all ide ports, usb 2.0 & firewire connections. Burning software such as Nero, Sonic and Roxio showed the dvd-r disks as blank.
On the external connections, I could get dvds created in dvdmf3.5 to play. The disk had to be opened in the dvd app. It also took a little time to read the disk.

The second was a HP DV8000 Turion 64 laptop. It has an AMD 1100 chipset. I only tried a usb 2.0 connection. Windows explorer still would not read the -r disks, but dvds played fine.

All the boards below had no problem with any of the disks:
BOARD---------------------------CHIPSET
BIOSTAR P4M80-M7 A------------VIA P4M800 + VT8237
BIOSTAR U8648-Z1--------------P4x266/A-VT8233
PCCHIPS M906HLU v3.3 ----------845E
MSI K8NGM-V--------------------GEFORCE 6100-NFORCE 410
BIOSTAR K8M800----------------vIA M7AK8M800/VT8237R
BIOSTAR NFORCE4 4X----------- NF4 4X-A7

Maybe others can posts their experiences with boards from other manufacturers.
