I never thought about a possible issue using a PATA DVD drive. I was able to install Vista x64 onto a RAIDO array with no F6 drivers, etc. and it's worked without issue for a few weeks now. I'm running a SATA DVD and have nothing even hooked up to the PATA port. Since JMicron is the only way to get PATA support there may be some odd conflict. The JMicron controller on the P5WDH was a PITA.
Hopefully thi will help somebody put the puzzle together.
