I have experience using CMD ATA-100 card in FreeBSD.
It is an ATA RAID Controller ( as vendor marks ) but
it is a very interesting question! :)
But FBSD see all four drives attached to it as for different
drives ad4-ad7. One disadvantage - both channels use
same IRQ line. I didn't configure RAID in it's setup
program and use it as a plain two-channel ATA-100 controller.
No problems in this scenario. Four WDC WD1200BB-00CAA1
was used. Works fine several months.
For RAID functionality ccd(4) was used.
Now all drives moved from this card to base ATA channels on
motherboard as the same arrays (OS on SCSI drives).
Only drive numbers was modified in ccd config file. All ok.
