TITLE: Atapi.sys Fix for PIO Mode Issue (817472)

DESCRIPTION:
This contains the Windows 2000 Atapi.sys Update for the workstation models listed below.

It fixes the issue where after several suspend/resume cycles, hard disk performance may be 
reduced. If you use Device Manager to view the properties of the IDE channel to which the 
drive is connected, the Advanced Settings tab may show that the current transfer mode for 
the drive is "PIO Mode" (the slowest transfer mode).
