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.
