	Don't know if this is the actual techno explanation for it... but
as I've seen it most of the Ultra IDE or UDMA drives are the newer higher
size ones like the 6.5 and 11+GB ones. And my experience is they work just
like a EIDE drive. I've actually got 3 6.5GB Seagate Medalist Pro UDMA
drives in a Debian Linux box right now and works fine.
