Hi,
I'm currently checking out a couple of PCI controllers by
PROMISE Technology (the FastTRAK and the FastTRAK66).
The nice thing about them is that, if coupled with their "hot-swap"
disk box, they allow you to remove/add a disk while the system
is up and running.
I couldn't find any other PCI/IDE card supporting hot-swapping.
If anybody knows about them, I'd be interested too.
Up to now I managed to use them succesfully on NT (:-(
while when used with the current linux driver,
I didn't find out how to enable the hardware-RAID.
