-> So have you fixed that problem?.                          

I was incorrect, the I/O card has a non-standard port address.

-> Bugger.

Another error, seems it DOES have ATAPI support but they appear to like
to keep that their little secret so that information is hard to come by.
Not even in the Promise manual for the card.

-> Aha.

-> Aha.

-> Great.

I'll get that hard drive, sound card and Ultra66 I/O card in soetime
this week, it';s just I hate to take down an operating Linux system
in ramdisk that's been operating flawlessly for over two weeks

Tomorrow is my target date, Jan. 19, 2005 which will come sooner for you
than I.
