I've been toying with the idea of getting one of those for a while, but
there doesn't seem to be a linux driver for the FastTrack66 (the RAID
card), only for the Ultra66 (the not-hacked IDE controller), and that
driver has only 'Experimental' status with current production kernels:
Clue: the Promise IDE RAID controller is NOT a hardware RAID
controller.
Promise IDE RAID == Software RAID where the software is written by
Promise and sitting on the ROM on the Promise card getting called by
the BIOS.
I even wrote to Promise to ask when or if a linux driver might become
available, but didn't get much of an answer (they replied that there
was a driver available for the Ultra, although I had specifically asked
for the RAID card).
Dont bother... A driver for Promise RAID == Software RAID. You
already ahve software RAID in linux!!!!
If anyone hears about a Linux driver for this card, I'd like to know.
