I've had good success with either Promise or HighPoint embedded controllers 
on motherboards IF AND ONLY IF they are used as IDE controllers. Just for 
plugging in a disk or CD-ROM, they work beautifully. However, trying to do 
RAID with their closed, buggy drivers is hell... do software RAID instead.
