Well, not quite correct. The kernel 2.4.0-test6 supports several
ATA/33/66/100 chipsets and one of them is "Promise Ultra66 or PDC20262"
(it means grab hackkernel and pray... >:) ).
Beware. The stuff is relatively new and I had some troubles with ATA/66
stuff not long ago. My chipset is a Triones Technologies's HPT366 and it
went stable only in one of the last 2.3.X tarballs. So probably, among
these drivers, there could be some features still "floating" around.
