Hi list,

  I'm mounting a machine (FreeBSD 4.10) that need to have 2 HD's
mirrored tthrough hardware (IDE Raid).

  I looked the Hardware Notes and find the following supported
chipsets that are capable of this:

    - Promise Fasttrak-33, -66, -100, -100 TX2/TX4, -133 TX2/TX2000
    - HighPoint HPT366 ATA66, HPT370 ATA100, HPT372 ATA133, HPT374 ATA133
    - Via 8237

    (Some others like Intel ICH5 can do Raid but this need an
"driver" and just work for windows...(?) I think)

  I just need that the mirror be done at Hardware level and be
transparent to OS.

  I'm looking an Motherboad Asus A7V600-X that comes with VIA VT8237,
this will work ?? I should choose ATA or SATA drives ?

  Someone has some expirence, advise or sugestion ??

 Best Regards,

Alexandre
