Would someone tell me where to look (possibly in /proc) to see which IDE controller I have? I would like to purchase a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9, 80GB Hard Drive but it requires an EIDE Ultra ATA/133 controller. I noticed this in file /proc/ide/piix
Controller: 0
Intel PIIX4 Ultra 33 Chipset.
--------------- Primary Channel ---------------- Secondary Channel -------------
enabled enabled
--------------- drive0 --------- drive1 -------- drive0 ---------- drive1 ------
DMA enabled: yes no yes no
UDMA enabled: yes no yes no
UDMA enabled: 2 X 2 X

Does this mean that I have an Ultra/33 controller, and cannot use this particular Maxtor hard disk?
Most hard disks (in fact all I've used), will happilly work on UDMA mode 2.
This should not be a problem.
