Elfar pointed out that the version is on the chip (should have thought of
this really).

I've just opened the box and taken a peek, and the exact text on the white
sticky label on the chip is :

	Ultra100 TX2
	V2.10 B23

So I'm assuming that this is a v2 controller, and therefore I say :
``The v2 Promise UDMA 100 TX2 PCI IDE controller is supported on 4.4-RELEASE''

Here's the output of uname -a:

FreeBSD rhadamanth.private.submonkey.net 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #0: Mon Nov  5 16:36:43 GMT 2001     setantae@rhadamanth.private.submonkey.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RHADAMANTH  i386

This was also working with a previous build from October sometime.
