Please verify the card in a modern CF adapter and also do tests with DMA capable cards of other types on the adapter you are using. Back when CF adapters first appeared the idea that you might run DMA on one was so ludicrously silly that nobody wired the neccessary pins on the adapters. Time has moved on, but hardware alas has sometimes not.
