I have been running (and booting) my system from ATA100 disks for the last 2 months with my A7V mobo. Gerd Has this been done yet (IE can I boot a 4.2 cd and install directly to a drive on the ATA100 controler on an A7V) or are we still waiting on something? I just thought I'd check before I download the ISO.
