It seems there is a chip by Jmicron to implement the IDE interfaces on
most of these boards (since the newer Intel chipsets don't have the IDE
intfc. anymore).

I have two of these and at least one of them has run Linux successfully (though
I don't think I've tried an install on it yet). It has an Intel ICH7 ATA
controller for its PATA port. It has a single PATA port but has 8 SATA ports,
one of which doubles as an eSATA port (can't remember if they supply a
cable/backplate for that, don't think so). Four of the SATA ports, including the
eSATA one, are on a Marvell 'RAID' chipset and I do not know if there is Linux
support for this (mine is turned off).

No J-Micron IDE interface on this Intel board. It does have IEEE1394, a parallel
and a serial port. It's also got old-style PS/2 ports too.
