Hi !
Not too long ago i bought the FIC KA-11 motherboard which has decent
features (2xISA/UDMA66onborad/AGP4x). I have RH 6.1 installed on an IBM 6.4
GB drive, which is not a UDMA66 drive, but i have absolutely no probs to
get RH going. My primary hdd is also an IBM drive which is UDMA66 and it
holds lilo for dual boot of w98/RH. Judging on my experience there is no
prob to use an UDMA66 controller, no clue about drives though, but I'd
expect RH to detect the controller then as a standard EIDE controller.
The chipset on my board is the VIA Apollo Pro 694x/596B, it works like a
charm. Maybe it is a chipset issue ?
Hope this info helps a bit,
Greez

PS.: The FIC board has even sound on board (Creative PCI 128) and the NOVUS
chip, which makes the puter talk to you if u forgot to plug in a grafics
card or bad RAM. Funny, huh ?
