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.
