How close are you to completion? I have a slightly off-track question -- should I be able to throw 3 of these boards in a modern (440bx based) motherboard, and run 6 ATA disks (1 per controller, 2 controllers per card) & expect things to 'just work' or should I expect problems? LINT doesn't list example configs beyond 1 Promise in addition to the on-board controllers, so I'm wondering if anybody's ever tested a config like this...?
