There is no wrong version for fwcutter. I did not see what was wrong other than
you did not have firmware installed.

Some boxes recover from the DMA error and switch to PIO mode without trouble.
Others do not and need the options that I listed.

We do not have a formal todo list. Informally, we need to fix the DMA problem,
