The FastTrak cards are not RAID cards; they are dual-port ATA cards with (lame) RAID software in the BIOS on the card. They require Windows drivers which take over the RAID work once you have booted Windows, or you can use them as plain dual-port ATA-66 cards. If you want a supported ATA RAID solution, see www.3ware.com. -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also.
