 Hmm, in 6.0 and current the SATA2 promise chips are supported, =20
 however 3Gb is untested as I have no such equipment here. However, =20
 your chipid is unknown to me but you coud try to add it like the =20
 pdc40718/719 and let me know if that works.
 
 I'll ask promise about that chip, can you verify the chip type by =20
 reading whats printed on its back please ?
