I'm interested in this too.  I've been playing with one of their IDE RAID
cards (Promise FastTrack).  We originally ordered their non-RAID "Ultra33"
card, which seems to be supported by -current, but our supplier couldn't
get it.

With -current as of a week or two ago I get the following with the FastTrack
controller:

ide_pci1: <Promise Ultra/33 IDE controller> rev 0x01 int a irq 11 on pci0.18.0
ide_pci1: adding drives to controller 4: 4 5 6 7
  ...
wdc2 not found at 0xeff0
wdc3 not found at 0xefa8

I have a disk connected as master to each of it's two IDE ports.
