Not so. I was able to run uport on my AT clone (an IMS-286) using
an XT controller and a seagate ST-225. I still use this rather 
slow configuration when I have disk crashes and am waiting for
my AT drive(s) to be repaired.

Microport has a very flexible configuration scheme. With 2.3, 
you should be able to  accomodate most any drive.
