How bad is built-in IDE support on U5/10 under current OS (Solaris 9, say)? I know it used to be quite bad, but there were ways to improve IDE performance, IIRC (adjusting parameters) - any limits on HD size & speed? (Largest boot drive installed, and what is IDE interface speed on U5/10 - 33, 66, 100, or greater?

I'm thinking of stuffing a 100+ Gig HD in my U5, and wondering if it will be supported...

Thanks in advance!
