No, it turns out that the Promise parts (at least the earlier 33 MB/sec ones)
just claim to be Raid instead of PCI IDE if some random pin is pulled high
on the PCB.  The part behaves exactly the same way, but it claims to be the
wrong kind of device.  This could have something to do with the fact that
Promise also sell IDE "RAID" cards that don't seem to have a whole lot of
other logic on them but _do_ require a special driver.. hmm.... :-)
