If your looking for a good IDE Raid card, check this out. I have delt
with this company before and the price is right at 17 dollars for an
ata/66 controller (who really needs ata/100 yet anyway). It's an Iwill
card so I have no idea about drivers. I have delt with the company before
and there shipping is cheap and they email you tracking numbers and
everything.
