Thanks to Alvin for the advice about the ata/133 ide patch. I guess I will need to:
1. cable the disc initially to the primary IDE controller 2. install Linux 3. download the ata/133 ide patch 4. rebuild the kernel with the patch 5. recable the disc to the adapter card Is there a simpler procedure? By the way, does anyone know how to figure out if a given patch is incorporated in a given version of the kernel and exactly what version of the kernel is included with, say, Debian "testing" (now "woody") on a given date?
