    Sure, it's possible. 5.2.1 is very close to tracking -CURRENT, and there can
    be some fallout after people make changes to APCI, the ATAng code, and
    whatnot. However, I have to say that the EPIA hardware tends to be fairly
    sensitive to things like poor IDE cables, jumping everything according to
    spec, etc.
