That was a great suggestion, and very informative (since the box is 
phsically about 100 miles away and I wasn't the one who ordered or 
installed it "way back when").  The only mention of the IDE 
ports/controller is this:

Handle 0x000C
        DMI type 8, 9 bytes.
        Port Connector Information
                Internal Reference Designator: PRIMARY IDE
                Internal Connector Type: On Board IDE
                External Reference Designator: Not Specified
                External Connector Type: None
                Port Type: Other
Handle 0x000D
        DMI type 8, 9 bytes.
        Port Connector Information
                Internal Reference Designator: SECONDARY IDE
                Internal Connector Type: On Board IDE
                External Reference Designator: Not Specified
                External Connector Type: None
                Port Type: Other

dmesg yields:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
