What gives? Is this an ATA/100 or ATA/133 card? The box says ATA/133. I can't find any information on the web if this is somehow hacked to run at 133, or if it really is a 100, or a true 133, or whatever. >> The Promise chip set is actually an UATA/100/133 chip set. With one set of firmware, it is UATA/100. With another, it is UATA/133. This is why the Sonnet (made by Promise) UATA cards are usually referred to as UATA/100/133 cards. The UATA function in the Trio card (which has three distinct functions, hence three distinct chip sets behind its "PCI Bridge") is probably loaded at the factory with UATA/133 firmware. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
