The udma66 floppies worked with my two IBM-DPTA-372050 under a Promise
Ultra 66.
I dont suppose there is any way to "downgrade" your 100 to a 66, i
remember seing a bios patch to upgrade a 66 to a 100, i didnt try it
though as id heard of people having problems.
So does the kernel just totally fail to detect the controller, or does
it lockup or what ?
