Exactly, it costs 29.99 (+shipping and sales tax) for the card (5c for the resistor), then the time to do the work. This guy is selling the cards modified with a 30 day guarantee for $35 + $5 for shipping and you can deduct $10 if you send cash for a total of $30 - no tax. That's a savings of 4c (a little more if you count the tax and time it would take to do it yourself). Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
Re: [expert] raid / reiserfs
I am not sure if you're going to have any luck with hardware raid, espescially with cards like this. I hope you have researched this well (read the relevant HOWTOs, kernel docs etc) and are sure that your kernel supports it. If you do have success setting up the raid, maybe you would want to write a short bit up on it. Once the raid is set up (be it hardware or software) the filesystem shouldn't know a thing about it. It's probably best not to put your root on the raid (without reading the ROOT-RAID-HOWTO) Buchan P.S. From what I can remember, the Promise ATA->RAID hack is the addition of the right resistor in the right place (which will cost you about 5c).

[expert] raid / reiserfs
Hello, I would have searched the archives on this but I can't seem to get into the Mandrake website? Anyway, I'm planning on putting a Promise IDE RAID card (Fast trak udma 66) in one of my computers this weekend and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if reiserfs will work on a hardware raid setup as this? Also, if anyone is interested, this guy will do the necessary hack to a standard Promise udma 66 controller card to make it a fast trak 66 raid card (saving at least $50). If anyone knows about this/is interested, here's the address: http://promiseraid.tripod.com/ Mike Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
