We were unable to get BL to work at all with the add-in PCI IDE 
controller, but Windows worked with that driver, and could find its CD-ROM 
drive (on ide3).  Without the card, Windows boots a few seconds faster 
(despite much much slower measured hard drive transfer speed -- 2 MB/sec
instead of 30MB/sec) but cannot find any CD-ROM drive we attached to ide1 
as master or slave though it does find hard disks there.

DOS worked fine either way and found the CD-ROM drive.

We took out the card and are using the slow onboard IDE controllers.

Apparently nobody on this list has experience with these cards.  I wonder 
what Ubuntu did right.  It obviously found the CD-ROM drive since it 
booted from it.  BL could not find any attached IDE/ATAPI drives.
