Re: a couple hardware inquiries

["Jeff Palmer" <somedamnfool@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

the promise controller was dropped because it wasn't needed anymore... it 
was there because it was udma100 and the ide built into the via 686a south 
bridge was only udma66.. so asus could say udma100 support and such about 
the board....  but the via 686B southbridge replaces the udamn66 controllers 
with udma 100 giveing the board udma 100 without add on junk....
