The promise on my A7V333 seems to work fine, albeit used as just a plain
old IDE controller. (I do my RAID using RAIDFrame.) It currently has
my 80 GB boot drive and three 120 GB data drives. (The fourth 120 GB
data drive in my RAID array is on one channel of the VIA controller;
the other VIA controller channel contains a Sony CD-RW and memory stick
adapter.)
