Offically that is correct........however, there are rumors that I can not
verify.........but ATA/133 is a back alley issue. Due to the laws of
physics, NOP -- IMHO. However with a beefed up HOST for more current and
a beefed up drive interface the back alley may see a glimps of the street
before it is stomped on by lawyers. Politics is not here for discussion.
