pciide1 at pci1 dev 9 function 0: Promise Ultra100/ATA Bus Master IDE Accelerator (rev. 0x02)
pciide1: bus-master DMA support present

pciide1: secondary channel ignored (disabled)

I'm running an off the shelf Maxtor card which was the only thing that
I could get at Circuit City.  I am running NetBSD 1.6_RC1, though, so
I can't say that this card runs on 1.5.3 or not.  There are lots of cards
that are supported by 1.5.3, I am pretty sure that the Promise Ultra66/ATA
have been supported for a long time and would definitely work under 1.5.3.

If you do a quick ``cvs log'' of src/sys/dev/pci/pciide.c, it seems that
the Promise Ultra100/ATA cards have been added to the 1.5 branch before
1.5.3:

some of the output, only some relevant bits:

        netbsd-1-5-PATCH002: 1.68.2.26

Pull up revision 1.110 (requested by bouyer):
  Revert setting of PDC2xx_SCR for Promise Ultra/100, it seems to
  break with some adapters.

revision 1.68.2.22
date: 2001/03/13 21:23:35;  author: he;  state: Exp;  lines: +67 -8
Pull up revision 1.108 (requested by bouyer):
  Support Ultra/100 speed on Promise Ultra/100, and fix ``bogus
  intr'' messages generated under some conditions.

So it looks like this card and many many others are supported in 1.5.3.
