Shrugs, how recent is this press release? You're going to be waiting for
drives that are announced to hit the market. On the other hand, IBM have
had 7200rpm 75Gb drives out for about 3 months. They cost $1,150~.
Although I'd rather get 2x 45Gb 7200rpm IBM drives which cost closer to
~$500-$600.

I've noticed that there's an ATA Work(s) In Progress (EXPERIMENTAL) option
in Kernel 2.4.0-test*.
The Promise driver in the kernel also supports Promise Ultra33, Ultra66
and Ultra100 controllers. So maybe it interfaces enough with the card to
allow it to "do it's schtuff" and run at ATA/100.
