You could
1) Use the motherboard's two ide channels plus an add-in IDE card (like
the Promise ATA/66). This words under -CURRENT and -STABLE (with
patches)
2) Use one of the Abit motherboards with the HighPoint ATA-66
controller, for a total of 4 ide channels on the motherboard (2
Ultra-33, 2 Ultra-66)
