Oh but Promise does make Mac IDE cards in a way. They supplied the firmware for the VST card which was one of the first Mac IDE cards. OWC hired Promise to write new firmware for the VST card so it will run OSX (and also to help them sell the mountain of left over cards they had stock piled ;-) Promise also makes the firmware for the Sonnet ATA 100 & 133 IDE cards. I don't know who manufactures these cards it may well be Promise. Acard is the only other company making Mac IDE cards. As far as I've been able to tell.
Actually, Promise manufactured the cards, but FirmTek wrote the firmware. There's an info window in the firmware updating utility which gives their names. The "George" fellow seems nice. The other person is in denial about firmware bugs and also appears to be the owner.
