Because I have a lot of applications/product to reinstall and test, and I can't do that now. All produsts are upgraded to the latest and safest version, but there are too many customization that could force me, now, to a long stop during migration. So, now, I prefer to move all "as is". After I'll solve this problem, I can plan a two weeks period in which I may do all without hurry. Now I need just a standard PCI IDE controller.
