RE: IDE Port

[Brian Gonzales <gonzales thuntek net>]

I have an ASUS A7V mobo with 2 normal IDE ports (primary/secondary) and
1 ATA-100 port. My hard drives are connected to the ATA-100 port and are
recognized as HDE1 and HDF1. Does that sound correct?

primary/master = hda1
primary/slave = hdb1
secondary/master = hdc1
secondary/slave = hdd1

ATA-100/master = hde1?
ATA-100/slave = hdf1?
