What does hdparm /dev/hda gives? Does "hdparm -c3 -d1" help?

I didn't try -c, but hdparm -d /dev/hda throws an error indication that
the ioctl is not implemented.
neither DMA or 32 bit transfers appear to be enabled when hdparm queries.
I can't get to the machine untill tomorrow, so all this is prob memory,
still i know for a fact that it will not let DMA get enabled.
