[Soekris] PCI-based SATA

[Rhys Frederick]

Hi all,

Has anyone had any experience using a Promise TX4 Sata card in the
5501's PCI slot? I'm looking to connect a bunch of SATA drives to a
5501. I realise the system is going to be limited by the 33Mhz PCI bus
but wondering if anyone hass used it successfully. I'll probably be
running the system with FreeBSD (M0n0 1.3 based distro) and FreeBSD
seems to have good support for the promise-based cards.

Cheers,


Rhys Frederick
