Two of the drives are use 80-wire, two are 40-wire. I'm going to leave
it like this temporarily to see if I can get to point where there's a
big difference. Checked the BIOS. I see no place to even change the mode
the devices are in. I'll see if there's an updated firmware for the
BIOS. 

This is a K7SOM+ mobo with a SiS chipset. Current BIOS date is
01/20/2003.
