The 7000 family supports ATA-100, but due to the fact that you only put
one drive on a port, it's basically unnecessary; the ata-66 model is
'equivalent' to an ATA-133 controller in terms of bandwidth available to
a single drive in a fully-loaded configuration.
There are good reasons to buy a 7000 family controller, but the "must
have" appeal of ATA-100 is not one of them.

Mike
