Actually, you can combine virtually any kind of block
device with LVM - SATA, PATA (EIDE), SCSI, iSCSI, AoE, FC,
floppy, file, NBD,
Yes, and no.
The only thing to be aware of is that SATA drives appear under "s"
devices, PATA appear under "h".
Here's my "cat /proc/mdstat" and my "/usr/sbin/pvdisplay" output:

I have searched the forums for a while now, and have
not come up with a solid answer.
Can you use LVM to group a SATA drive with an IDE
ATA100 drive? if you can, is it just the standard
commands or are there any pitfalls to be aware of?
Thanks ahead of time.
