Is there any disadvantages of having the IDE buffers installed on the card?
Its been tested less compared to other combinations.

I fitted IDE buffers the other day and it allowed me to use a crazy long cable! I need to get a CD-ROM working with it though - seems to be an issue related to master / slave atm for me.
