If it's not quiet supported as yet could I just plug the ata66 drives
into the ide controller
on board? Will the drives work this way but just not have the speed of
ata66? If this is
the case I will pull the controller until official support is here... Speed
is not as important
as access to the data on the drives...
Thanks
