I looked at Promise a while back because I'd had excellent results
with one of their older BIOS'ed I/O cards.

I didn't see a suitable solution at their web site or in local 
dealerships ( though that doesn't mean it doesn't exist).

Looking at www.compusa.com 
I see a card by Siig and one by Belkins that suit my needs here.
Either card supports over 137 Gig barrier.

My BIOS craps out at just over 30 Gig I found out by just running it up
until it rolled over and exited without saving.
