Is there any speed penalty when mixing ATA-33 and ATA-100 drives on single IDE device? The IDE controller is ATA-66. I have only got two IDE drives, so I might as well put them on either device as master. But if there is no speed penalty whatsoever (...) (24 years ago, 14-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
