I might approach this one from the opposite direction: while it's likely
that such a board exists, does Linux support for it exist in the kernel?
Probably a good thing to hunt down the 2.4 IDE readme (or somesuch) and
see what they have to say about support for funky host adapters, etc. Out
of curiosity, what motherboard only has one IDE chain? Many I see these
days have at least two, sometimes four (two for "stock" IDE, two for ATA).
This isn't a pizza box case, is it?
