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
