[ale] Linux and a third EIDE connection

[Yu, Jerry]

USB support should be pretty decent now, not quite sure about disk.

I've used 3rd IDE controller on a SoundBlaster card to connect a small
IDE disk and it worked fine under RH6.0 and above. 

BTW, support or not mostly depends on the kernel version you are at
instead the RedHat release version. `uname -r` to find it out.

good luck.
