Re: Using RAID chipsets in the motherboard.

[Ramasubramanian Ramesh <rramesh@ti.com>]

All,

 I suppose I was not clear about the reason for using the on mobo RAID 
chipsets. I simply want to have the ability to use more than 4 IDE 
devices. I thought using the on board RAID controller was a easy 
solutions. I suppose not.

 All I want to do is to have the ability to run 4 IDE harddrives and 2 
CD/DVD ROM/RW drives. I am told that SATA can be used a host. But that 
is not the best for me as I have to buy SATA drive and my ATA drives 
wont do.
If any of you have suggestions short of buying a new ATA card, I am 
eager to know.

Thanks and Regards
Ramesh
