Have a good time on holiday!! *8^))  I've communicated with you by private
e-mail about the Promise Card and if that can be made to work that would be
super!  Your efforts on this are appreciated.

I was also wondering, are there other cards that *just* work with the code 
that you have developed?  The onboard chip on my Micronics M7STA board seems 
to work (although it seems to have trouble with Maxtor 6.4GB devices & the 
UDMA code) but, that only supports 4 devices and limits my other systems 
which do not have on board UDMA.

Once I found the person at Promise that could make the decision to release 
the information on the card they were very friendly and very cooperative 
(my apologies to the individual, I can't find my notes [moved in between 
then and now] and I can't remember your name).  While I'm sure the Promise 
Card is a fine card on systems that support it, and while I appreciate the
cooperation from Promise, what I'm interested in is utilizing UDMA on 
NetBSD and I'm open to using other cards if they are available.

Are there any cards available that are currently supported that just plug'n
run on NetBSD?

TIA,
Paul
