For a RAQ 2:
The cobalt information sheet suggest that RAQ 2 hard drives supports "Ultra ATA". Is that ATA/33, /66 or /100- or will they all work?
I assume /33 and perhaps /66 will work, but not /100?

Thanks,
DK

hmm good question. I dont think a Raq2 is even at 66.
Most likely a 33.

Thanks Cephren,

I have been doing some research and it appears that newer IDE/ATA hard drives will function on older ATA computers- however, the performance of the drive will be the same as the old supported CPU.

I will be testing it.. wish me luck :).

ATA100 drives can be used,
but they will only work at ATA33
