Re: off topic: ATA133 backwards compaitibility with ATA100

On Fri, 25 Aug 2006 09:50:09 -0400, Amadeus W. M. staggered into the
Black Sun and said:
Is ATA133 backwards compatible with ATA100? In other words, can I plug
an ATA133 cable into an ATA100 slot on the motherboard? I imagine if
yes, the whole thing would still work as ATA100, right?

All the ATA standards are supposed to be backwards-combatible to a high
degree, so yeah, this should work.
