Paul, you will be relieved to know that I braved up and installed the |
| 2 |
1205sa card on a windows machine... updated driver which may have been |
| 3 |
a waste of time and flashed both Base BIOS and SATA_raid BIOS. |

Apparently this card has a BIOS that is in 2 parts or maybe each on it |
| 6 |
own chip. Their are 2 on the card. |

I didn't hold out much hope but it worked just fine with that done. |

No need for jumpers ... it just works. |

Some might think its a waste to go with the 1.5GB of `sata I' but the |
| 13 |
card is PCI anyway. I'm not sure how much of a bottleneck that is but |
| 14 |
I suspect that would get in the way before 1.5gb does. |

This server is on a home lan so not going to get an industrial |
| 17 |
workout anyway. |

I'm a happy camper even though I jumped the gun and ordered a Sil3114 |
| 20 |
off ebay, I'm pretty sure I'll use it sooner or later. |

You have been very patient and helpful ... I really do appreciate |
| 23 |
that. Thanks. |
