I have a system 4 with promise ide controllers as well as the two onboard controllers with one disk on each channel. I haven't tested performance for the 2.2.16 kernels, however 2.2.14 had poor write performance if there was a disk on both the controllers on a single card. cheers On Tu

What you do not know is that there will be a drive int the futre that will have a native SCSI overlay and front end. This will have a SCB->ATA converter/emulation. This will require setup and booting as a SCSI device. FUN, heh?? Andre Hedrick The Linux ATA/IDE guy

Yo Andre! I know that, I am using Mingo's RAID-1 patch. Sort of figured that should be obvious on the linux-raid group... RGDS GARY On Fri, 5 May 2000, Andre Hedrick wrote: > RUDE surprize for you > > Hardware RAID 1 under promise is not hardware! > > Details.drives and host

I was wondering which add in PCI IDE controllers are good to use and SMP safe with a 2.2.14 or 2.2.15 kernel. I did some looking for Ultra66 controllers and the only thing I could find that was supported was the Ultra66 from Promise. Checking on their site, they state the the driver is included
