I've had problems with using two PDC20269's at the same time too.
(well actually one is a 69, the other is the 100, not 133 version).
They seem to work ok without DMA on, but otherwise I get lots of dma
errors when heavy load is placed (such as re-syncing).
I've got an Epox motherboard (Duron 1.0 ghz), and four IBM 7200RPM
120gig harddrives.
Right now things are running "ok" by having all four drives on one
card and the other card (doesn't matter which) in my desk drawer. But
it would be nice if I could put it back in the system (the speed was
-great-!).
