Linux Support
The pinout switching is done by the BIOS and hardware, so that it is completely transparent to the operating system. Hence, all IDE drives are supported by the IDE driver in the linux kernel. SCSI emulation is possible. Floppy drives are supported by the standard floppy driver. ZIP drive support is possible through the ide-disk driver. Batteries are BIOS controlled, anyway.
Hotswapping is supposed to be supported as well, using hdparm to (un)register devices. NOTE: This seems to be broken with 2.6 kernels. If UltraBay Plus devices are supported is not known.
