OK, so having done this, it seems that things are now running much, much slower. The source drive is set to master, the destination to slave, the only thing that I think I may have done in a less-than-optimal fashion is I connected the slave to the end of the EIDE cable because the cable wouldn't reach to do it the other way around. I thought that it ought to not matter how I cable it unless using cable select, but I could be wrong. The log still shows the same DMA mode in effect.

Do I need to add an EIDE port, get a different cable, or pursue some other solution?
