I dont know that one, and Adaptec say nothing about what hardware
they use on thier web (why does that have to be a secret until you
have bought the product, or is that exaclty why ?).

I suspect it is the same as the 1210SA RAID thing just without the
RAID part of the BIOS, ie thats also a ds3112 chip (with Adaptecs
"special" PCI id, *sigh*)..

Go for Promise, they support us with docs and HW for development :)
