Hi,
        Can someone tell me what the current kernel support for UDMA 66 cards
is like and how easily I will be able to use the above controller card
with 2.2.13?

I'm assuming that it'll simply be a case of inserting the card, booting
and that the kernel will recognise the card so that the new drives
become accessable via /dev/hde, etc. I've ordered the card but am
waiting for new stock so I can still cancel the order within the next
few days if someone has an view to the contrary.

I recall some of the guys at CERN saying that they had many UDMA
controllers in use in one machine - on a related topic, if someone could
tell me how to handle the (presumably) 2 extra IRQs required, that would
also be very useful - i.e. do I have to give it 2 IRQs or can it
co-exist with 14&15 being used by the mb controller? etc.

Jonathan.
