Try a better cable (80-pin, 40 conductor) for all devices.
That's backwards, 80 conductor, 40 pin. Just so OP doesn't get
confused.
Sorry, at least you knew what I meant. :-)
It appears I already have 80-conductor cables, except for a 40-conductor
cable on the floppy drive. The DVD drive on Secondary (the worst offender)
is on the end connector, with no "stub" at the end.

You might try updating your chipset drivers... The ide controller
normally would select dma for the hard drives and you would only have
to select it for the optical drive.
I will look into that, but I know I updated the BIOS (and I think the VIA
chipset drivers) within the last 2 years. Considering this is a 5-yr-old
mobo, I would think that is current. The Asus support website is offline
today but I'll check for updates later.
What are the device settings in your system bios?
