The Pentium Pro ASUS P/I-P6NP5 board claims to support
onboard IDE (bus master) at 17 MB/s in PIO mode and 22MB/s in
DMA mode.

How useful is this under FreeBSD-current? Does the IDE driver support
this? Are there any IDE disk drives allowing for transfer rates
in the range of those achieved by SCSI drives? Would that rule out
SCSI as the choice when you want to have really fast disk access?
