Sorry for the confusion, here. I now remember where I've found the
"recommended" HD. It was in the bios-1.05 README:

Of course the drive is not "recommended", but there's enough variable parameter
in this project for my mind to convert points that seem solid in recommended
ones ;-) What would have been the appropriate term "known to work"? My english
may just not be good enough. I'll do better next time.
And, yes, I meant HD brand, not interface, 'cause I tought all ide HD were
supposed to use the same ide driver whitout problem. That's the reason for my
question.
Thanks for the answer !
