Good luck with Promise. I went through this a while back, and the guys at Promise are clueless. I called them up and asked, I even had the cipset numbers and they still couldn't tell me what they used on their cards. Look in the archives for my interesting experiences with them. I ended up getting an Adaptec 1210sa. I didn't need RAID though, my understanding is the RAID support is really sketchy on these. --Bryan
