I just bought this sata controller: SYBA SY-VIA-150 PCI SATA /IDE Combo Controller Card, Non Raid
Cost was $11.60 at Newegg. Gives you two satas, one ide. Only has one sata cable with it, and you will need sata power-adapters, depending on the sata drives you buy. Works well with the following kernel settings. CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA=y CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX=y Good luck. Bill Roberts On 20:50 Sun 08 Jan , Brett I.
