I've used a Promise 378 FastTrak SATA PCI controller card in the past. They don't seem easy to find any more, though. Certainly not new. There's a Promise S150 TX4 for US$15 on eBay which apparently is supported by FreeBSD. The controller chip is a PDC20319 which is listed in /usr/src/sys/dev/ata/chipsets/ata-promise.c. Also a SATA300 TX2plus for the same price which is probably supported too. The seller's photo shows a PDC207xx controller chip - probably the PDC20771 which is also listed in ata-promise.c. Of course there's not much consumer demand for these types of cards any more, now that motherboards with four or more SATA sockets are common! Good luck :-) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
