Solution:
According to the specification of VIA82C686A (IDE controller) used on TPC-1560T and TPC-1260T The fastest IDE transfer rate is up to UltraDMA-66 . Besides, UltraDMA mode 0~5 transfer rate is below, just for your reference!! Ultra DMA Mode 0     235ns 16.7MB/s   ATA-4 Ultra DMA Mode 1 160ns 25MB/s   ATA-4 Ultra DMA Mode 2 120ns 33.3MB/s   ATA-4.Ultra ATA Ultra DMA Mode 3    90ns 44.4MB/s ATA-5 Ultra DMA Mode 4    60ns 66.6MB/s   ATA-5.Ultra ATA/66 Ultra DMA Mode 5   40ns 100MB/s   Ultra ATA/100 So user has to reset HDD of IBM as ATA-3 using Utility of IBM. Besides, it is confirmed that Toshiba 40Gbytes HDD--MK4025GAS can't work with this module no matter what kind of DMA mode. So it is recommended to using HITASHI or FUJI instead.
