I can't really speak for any of the others, but I have a ABIT
KT7A-RAID. For FreeBSD it works perfectly with the ZT bios. All 4 IDE
controllers are accessible, so you can have up to 8 devices in the
machine.

DMA100 features on IDE3 and IDE4 seem to work fine.

This board is a bit sucky for certain games though. Specifically
DiabloII with the latest patch does not work at all on this board, so
you can't play on battlenet. 

I've also had problems with a Soundblaster Live and this board. This
was apparantly related to Southbridge incompatibility with some
features of the SBLive. Latest drivers fix this in windows, but in
FreeBSD I still get crackly sound.
