I use a "Promise PDC20378 SATA150 controller" built into my motherboard for= =20 RAID1 and it works perfectly.

I believe the chip I am using is in the "FastTrak S150 TX2plus" - it has 2= =20 SATA ports and a PATA port (which matches the motherboard) =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart1188165.GrJUZcLoH1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBEEWoF5ZPcIHs/zowRAnNdAJ964XIx4ynuBWkzXmgmOWwsfmzTAwCdEABy JFI2X3vXvYO38KmOcr10ppY= =gPHq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1188165.GrJUZcLoH1--
