Now the card is working perfectly.

I moved the 4GB Ultra2 drive to the second controller. The
errors stopped.

I attached the 13GB Ultra4 drive to the primary ATA100
controller and have had no problems.

I surmise the Promise Ultra100 has a problem with Ultra2
drives on the primary controller only. Promise has not
confirmed this.
