the kernel might not have had drivers compiled in for the card, or |
| 17 |
maybe it just wasn't where it expected. I would recommend to anyone |
| 18 |
not to put ATAPI cd rom drives on PCI or PCI-X boards -- it seems to |
| 19 |
make them unhappy. My SIL 680 wouldn't even let the computer boot with |
| 20 |
a CDRW on the off-board controller. |

I have good things to say about the PCI0680 Ultra ATA-133 Host |
| 30 |
Controller (rev 02). I bought it about 3 years ago, and use it for |
| 31 |
important data on my server. I am also very happy with the SiI 3512 |
| 32 |
[SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 01). It looks like the |
| 33 |
version number is quite a bit higher than yours, but I didn't have any |
| 34 |
nasty problems with it, and have been running 2.6.22 from Nov 6, but |
| 35 |
don't use any RAID and, as I said, the model is different. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I still think of the Silicon Image line of budget controllers to be a |
| 38 |
good choice for value buys. The SATA I bought is now selling for |
| 39 |
$10.85 on newegg: |
