That's right, with more investigation I understood the difference.
Now a sample of the lspci -v output gives me:
0000:00:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth AGP
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 16
Capabilities: <available only to root>
0001:10:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc. UniNorth PCI
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 16
etc. etc. all at 66MHz.
So it "looks like" the pci buses on this machine are all working at
66MHz, and therefore the ide bus, or am I wrong again?
