Because the IDE card should really only be providing a BIOS link to your hard drives, I don't think you need to worry about compatibility with Linux or any other OS. As long as the card provides whatever hardware-level magic the BIOS requires to tell the kernel about the drive, you should be fine. That's not very helpful, I know. :) But I can tell you that I've used Promise Ultra133 ATA PCI cards in several Linux servers without problems. They weren't the exact model you're showing here (for example, they didn't include hardware RAID). But they came up in the kernel as /dev/hdk and so forth. HTH, Jeff
