I have a new system with RH7.0 and an ASUS A7Vmb. It seems that there are 4
connectors for IDE drives - two for UDMA33/66 and two for DMA100.
Does that mean there are 2 ATA controllers on-board - each controls two
connectors with each of 2 drives on them? Meaning that the hardware is
already set up to handle up to 8 drives?
Or can one use either set of connectors, but not both?
I've been working with Linux a long time, but I'm not much of a
hardware-head... I already have the two ATA66 controllers used (one for the
HDD, the other for the CD-ROM and Zip250). I might be interested in putting in
an ATA100 drive, but I'm not positive how those other two connectors work...

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
