Hmmmm....I regularly use one of those for testing (maybe it's an 855T),
and it seems OK for me.  The first one I had didn't work well, but
it was tracked down to a UPM/SDRAM timing problem.  People keep talking
about running > 50 MHz bus on these newer parts, is there something
different about the memory controller that allows this and may cause
compatibility problems?  I have (fortunately :-) not looked at this
level of detail in the newer parts.

When you disable copyback you also disable burst mode write from
the CPU core.
