I have a no-name motherboard, the driver complains that the controller is not 100% PCI compliant but I am not using the IDE at all since the system is all SCSI. I do not know if it will properly share an IRQ since I do not have any IDE drives here at home to test it with.
I suppose I could drag it into the lab to test it. The only marking I can find on the board is:
MS5120 VER:1
It uses a PIIX controller that complains on bootup about not being 100% PCI.
