hi ya Mike i bet the flash bios you get is pre-release alpha/beta that is NOT available on the real FastTrack raid controllers ??
or its the older version compared to the fasttrack ?? - they're probably keeping track of who downloaded it and who sends in problems/bug reports and check for correlation and validity of the bugs before releasing the new flash bios in their raid controllers - fun to speculate anyway dont matter...i wouldn't do it for the cost savings... compared to potential headaches when the managers or clients find out that the ide raid controller they got were kludged and stuff... if for myself.... i play with anything and everything if time permits .... but... need to eek a living sometimes too have fun alvin > > But what if you pay ~$50 more, and the only difference is a different bios > and a resistor? > > Mike
