Ok, I'll give that a whirl under 2.6.21-rc7 tonight. I'll build them in modular so I can switch around more easily. I hope. :]
You can't switch from the old IDE driver -- they're *not* unloadable. :-/

It seemed like a good buy at the time when I was researching these things. Best bang for the buck I guess. It's a RocketRaid133 card,
As for bang, it's true. You can't imagine how many days/nights I spent bangin' with the driver. :-D
but obviously I got a bum deal somewhere down the line.
HPT chips are surely not a good example of how to do things, more like an example how *not* to do. :-)
