I did my homework. I still believe that there is NO MAINBOARD with PDC20265, and without southbridge IDE - be it VIA, SiS, Intel or Nvidia. All motherboards you listed have PDC (or HPT) as an additional controller, and manual always refers to southbridge as IDE#1/IDE#2, while PDC is referred as IDE RAID#1/#2, or even as IDE#3/IDE#4. If you tried to prove that PDC20265 should never be ide0/ide1, then we are on the same boat.
