yes it should have no problem i've used many dma66 drives on dma33
controllers.
note you will probably have to tweak the system setup before moving the
drive back. since you already have drives on the 2 primary controllers
most likely the first drive on the off-board controller will be /dev/hde
..then /dev/hdf ..etc. /etc/fstab is the main file you will need to
adjust, i'd also reccomend adjusting /etc/lilo.conf too.
