Hello Norman, I, too, have one of their controllers (identified by lspci as "RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. PCI0680 Ultra ATA-133 Host Controller (rev 02)". It works ... kind of ... I bought it because my new AMD64 mobo has 1 ATA connector and I have 2 ATA hard drives and a SONY DVD RW DRU-510A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive. When I tried to boot a LiveCD from the SONY, the kernel was read then reported "can't find cdrom device". Not good! To upgrade to 64-bit gentoo, I had to recable my box so that my primary HD and the SONY were attached to the mobo. My rating of the SII card? "OK -- sort of".
