not having been into hardware, i can understand how it is confusing to you.
i am looking forward to your comments on 'one that follows'.
it is almost, 'it works, accept it'. but, such an approach does not answer your questions.

first re mapping moves drives from ata100 'logical' position, second moves them again to proper positions. it would be better to have a single re map, but for some reason that is not done. why, i can not answer.

perseverance.
it does my brain good to meet someone like you with a quest for knowledge. :)
you are most welcome.
this has me wondering just what you at a loss about.

why is it odd for a mainboard to have 2 ata controllers?
it is an extra feature that one day will/may become a standard. with availability of fast ata100 drives, those 2 controllers will both end up being ata100. ata33 is gone, ata66 is on it's way.
