I'm building a custom case which will use an a Rev. 2 Blue & White
motherboard, and right now I'm having a hard time with some ATA
issuses. (I'm trying to set up a OS X 10.3 environment, but I can
settle for 10.2 if necessary.)

1) I find it odd that the motheboard has one connector maked "IDE" and
the other one marked "Ultra ATA". Is this implying that the first is
ATA/66 and the other is ATA/100?

2) Is there a requirement that to be recognized boot CD drive has to
be at a certain location? (Master vs slave, "IDE" vs "Ultra ATA"?)

3) I know that there are other standards and sub-standards relating to
the technologies and startup protocols that a CD drive will respond
to. How can I identify OS or hardware requirements? (I've seen one
Apple specification web page for this machine, and it's mute on this
level of detail.)

Thanks in advance for any advice!
