Hmm... I have to ask if you (or anyone else) has actually done this.=20 I attempted to run two Highpoint cards in the same machine about a year ago, and the Highpoint driver became extremely confused. They were nowhere near the same card (one was IDE, the other was a 1640), but the driver seemed to be having difficulty seperating the drives. Only one of the setup screens would appear on boot. I tried different combinations of PCI slot locations and specific instructions to the driver to no avail. I ended up using g/vinum for the IDE drives. I don't exactly remember the other card's model, but the 454 looks likely. --Joe
