There are a couple I've tried both with success. The Promise one you talk
about it a great card but you need to have kernel support for the chipset
it uses. I have one in a server with 4 ATA66 15gig Maxtor drives mirrored
as only 2 drives. Excellent performance I might add, BUT im not booting off
of them.

The other one I have had excellent success with for IDE is called DupliDisk
its from Arco IDE. http://www.arcoide.com. Its totally OS independent and
is Bootable. It costs a little more than the Promise card but well worth it.
