       I have a Promise 2300+ Enhanced IDE controller.  I know that FreeBSD 
1.1 did not support EIDE controllers.  I have looked around at various files 
at www.freebsd.com and I do not see any definite statement that EIDE 
controllers are either supported or not supported.
       Does FreeBSD 2.0.5 support EIDE controllers? if not, will support be 
added in the future?

Thanks in advance
