Ack.  I thought this would work with the kernel already, and I've done
gone out and bought one.

From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ide.txt:

- support for any mix of up to *eight* IDE drives

That would mean the MB controller + the Ultra 66...

The Hardware-HOWTO says:

With up to two IDE interfaces and up to four hard drives and/or CD-ROM
drives.

Now I'm really confused.  I'll be working on it this weekend.  I'll let
you know what I figure it out.

Where did you find these drivers?
