I recently installed a Promise Ultra66 PCI card with two IDE channels.
Theoretically this should support 8 drives (2 momboard channels, 2 PCI
card channels, 2 drives per channel). I've only got two drives installed
(an ata/33 drive on the momboard and an ata/66 drive on the PCI card) but
I have no reason to doubt that 8 would work fine.
The promise driver I have is a module, which (as far as I can tell) means
that I can't boot from drives on the PCI card, but that's not a problem
for me as I'm booting from the other drive anyhow. There may be
compiled-in kernel drivers too, I haven't looked very hard since I got it
working with the module driver.
