its just my paranoia, i don't trust those newer ata controllers much,
have heard of too many problems(havent heard anything about the ata100s
yet tho) maybe it was just the early ata66 controllers. the drivers for
the udma/33 controllers are also a lot more mature and are probably more
stable. just my opinion tho.
let me know how the installation goes i'm curious as to how well the
card works in linux.
