My deskstar works perfectly with the ATA driver using UDMA4 mode [ATA/66]. ata(4) will tell you what controllers are supported and at what speeds. You might want to upgrade to 4.0-STABLE because Soren committed some fixes in 4.0-S this weekend. >FreeBSD 4.0 has ata/66 support. > >I think SUSE linux was the first OS/Distro to support ata/100, tho I don't >know of any drives/ or motherboards that support this.
