not thinking of RAID
Promise TX2 (ATA) ( at least a couple of years old works)
I'm especially thinking about human affordable solutions.
Just fill in the blanks (and remove >> for visability):
SATA: ----------------------
SATA II serving SATA I HD's ---------------------------------
ATA: ----------------------
Thanks in advance ;-)

So far everything I have tried has worked "by itself". (I have tried IDE, SATA, 3ware, Adaptec SCSI controller, and a SIIG ATA/133 card.) Where I am having problems is with combinations. For instance, I have a Intel P4 machine that I would like to have Motherboard IDE, Motherboard SATA, and a PCI SIIG card working all at once. So far no luck. If I go into bios and disable SATA, then it works, or if I pull out the SIIG card it works. With both in, I cannot even boot the live CD. For the above, it seems confusing arises from what /dev/hda, etc. refers to as the booting process progresses. I have another machine (P3) that goes into an infinite loop of printing to the console if I have the exact same SIIG card in it. For that machine, I can get it to boot if I use an older SIIG card, but then it locks up when I try to access a drive connected to it. I'm about to try a kernel of the day to see if it works any better. Greg -- Greg Freemyer
