Not hardly.

DMAs above 3 are available on all AT class computers, this is any 286 or
above, with a 16 bit bus.

The 32bit diskaccess must be disabled, because ATAPI devices are accessed in
a way that is not compatible with the 32bit disk access driver (WDCTRL).  It
has nothing to do with EIDE or DMA channels.  It is a windows kludge to
increase performance.
