Hello, > This brings me to my final option: has anybody managed to mix IDE > controller cards successfully? What cards are good for this? Quoting Soren Schmidt: Q: "Is it possible to use multiple Promise ATA-100 cards in one machine? If yes, how much?" A: "Yes, you should be able to use as many as you have PCI slots for. I have made systems with 3 promises with no problems." And: "Well, I would buy HPT370 based cards, like the Abit hotrod100, the HPT370 chip is a far better design than the promise, and gives better performance." So I think it is possible to use more than two Promise ATA cards, but the HPT 37x is the preferred way, by the ATA-driver author. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attila Nagy e-mail: Attila.Nagy@fsn.hu Budapest Polytechnic (BMF.HU) @work: +361 210 1415 (194) H-1084 Budapest, Tavaszmezo u. 15-17. cell.: +3630 306 6758 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
