Hello
I would like to know, if you have a Promise embedded RAID mo/bo, can you run a PCI Promise ULTRA 100 IDE card.

Anyone have this configuration or had problems with this?
Thanks for your imput. http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/14285/24684/cwm231-vi.gif?998418293 Pack'nHeat

The quick answer is probably ok, just may have to disable the promise channels both in Bios and device manager methinks.

Let us know if it do go, good luck.

I have a Abit KT7Araid mbo with a promise 100 pci ca rd and a SIIG 100 pci card installed. i have had had a few problems with using cdroms and zip drives on the cards but for the most part they seem to work fine if installed by the inst.

IT ISN'T QUITE THAT SIMPLE. THERE ARE 4 DIFFERENT RAID SETTINGS: RAID 0,1,0+1,JBOD. IF YOU USE STRIPING 0 OR 0+1 YES. MY PERSONAL PERFORMANCE CHANGE USING STRIPING 0 WITH 2 30 GIG WESTERN DIG. 7200 ATA 100 IDE DRIVES WAS AN INCREASE FROM 29X DOWN TO 59X TESTING IT WITH EASY CD CREATOR DATA TRANSFER TEST. I NEVER BENCH MARKED IT WITH SI-SOFT OR ANY OTHER. ONE THING I DO KNOW IS THAT IT IS A LOT FASTER THAN MY NEW MOTHERBOARD (ASUS A7V266 VIA KT266 DDR RUNING A SINGLE WEST.DIG. 7200 IDE WITH 512 DDR COMPARED TO MY ABIT KT7A RAID 1012 MEG SDRAM BOARD) I USED THE SAME PROCESSOR T-BIRD 1200
