The message was still hdc: UDMA/66 mode selected and hdparm also showed "udma4" as being selected. I therefore didn't test with a DVD. However, after twice reading the POSIX definition of strstr() I reversed the order of the arguments to if (strstr(model, "TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202")) { and that did it. Syslog now contained: hdc: host side 80-wire cable detection failed, limiting max speed to UDMA33 hdc: UDMA/33 mode selected hdparm showed "udma2", and playing movie DVDs worked without DMA being disabled. :-) That seems to be it, then. Many thanks for your help, and in particular for the explanations.
