I am planning to install NetBSD on an ALR DX4-100. It has a built-in
IDE controller and a 1GB Seagate ST31220A IDE drive (and unfortunately,
an IDE CD-ROM drive :( eating the 2nd IDE slot.
According to "CHANGES" :
Implemented EIDE multi-sector PIO, DMA, and LBA modes. [mycroft

Does this mean I can't load 1.0 onto this drive? If not, is there
a reasonably stable -current I can grab? I'm using 1.0 now on
non-EIDE drives. Drop me a line if you've installed this or similar
drives. Thanks!
