Nope, IDE drives are deal breakers as far as netbsd/mac is concerned.  Now,
lest some one stick their head in and say "oh, but the other ports have IDE
support, it should work, or should be easy to do", let me say that it
doesn't work today, it won't work till someone write code to do it, and I
am aware of no one who is even looking at doing it.
