[Pc_Support] 3Ware Escalade 7006-2 ($79), 8006-2 ($89) and Promise Ultra33 ($9) pulls ...

[Bryan J. Smith]

For those of you who have ATA needs, be it true hardware ATA
RAID, or just need extra ATA channels for your optical
drives, "Weird Stuff Warehouse" has some ATA pulls.

$79 3Ware Escalade 7006-2 ATAx2 66MHz PCI32:

$89 3Ware Escalade 8006-2 SATAx2 66MHz PCI64:  
  http://www.weirdstuff.com/cgi-bin/item/14205  

These will get you RAID-0 or RAID-1.  Both will work in
32-bit PCI slots, the 8006-2 with SATA is also a 64-bit
capable card.  Both can run at 66MHz, as well as support
33MHz.

Also, if you just need Ultra33 ATA channels for optical
drives (freeing up your chipset ATA channels for hard
drives), the Promise Ultra33 ATA cards are $9:

If you are worried about boot-time issues, just yank the
big'ole DIP package (at the end, clearly visible) off. 
That's what I always do -- no more boot/BIOS.

Again, these are all _pulls_ (i.e., used).
