I think I've also seen you post that the Highpoint is better than the
Promise.

What is the "quality heirarchy" of ATA chips?  Eg. I know the VIA chips
have issues.  Where does the CMD 649 fit in that heirarchy?

Such a list (or even a list of known issues with particular chips) would
be useful for specifying new machines.

Thanks,
