The UltraDMA/66 controller card provides two IDE hard drive connectors that sup-

port Ultra ATA/66 protocols, perfect for such demanding applications as real-time

video, multimedia, and high-performance operating systems. The UltraDMA/66 card

installs easily into any available 32-bit PCI slot on your system’s motherboard.

The UltraDMA/66 card’s two IDE connectors each support a master/slave combina-

tion of any IDE devices, including IDE, EIDE, Fast-ATA, and Ultra-ATA standards.

Devices of different standards can be connected to The UltraDMA/66 card without

performance degradation, due to the independent programmable timing registers in

the controller’s design.
