I've searched the kernel Documentation directory (linux 2.4.x) and I can't
find anything about which IDE - ata100 pci cards are supported. I also
looked in the Doc directory for my 2.2.12 kernel with no luck either.
I've purchased the only one I could find at the comp-usa near me (Maxtor)
and their web site doesn't even tell me what chipset it uses.
I wanted to verify that it will work before I open it up, or they won't take
it back for a refund.
Next I searched the linux-kernel archives for maxtor, and saw some things
about disks, but nothing about the controller, so I guess it has never
come up???
Where am I supposed to find this kind of information?
thanks,
