I believe I may have been the person who sent that message you are referring to. If not, I sent quite a colorful request for help last summer trying to get that same Siig pci card working on a Slackware box. The group was unable to help me at that time, & I was unable to get the card working on Linux (tried like 3 or 4 different distro's) then. I am happy to report the following: Siig ATA/133 pci works great with Linux now. As of the 2.6.N release of the kernel, they have included driver options for this card (chipset actually). I have not looked, but I do not believe their are drivers for the 2.4.N kernel...not sure. I know their was no support in the past. I am using this card on a slackware-current box, with the 2.6.3 kernel. No problems to report. I would imagine running the 2.6.N kernel on your favorite distro would work great as well with that card. Other than the kernel, you shouldn't have to do anything special to get it to work. Just note that the Primary master on the card would be /dev/hde, pri slave /dev/hdf, & so on. Also, just use hard disks on the siig card & no cd-roms, or your install will surely fail. Hope that helps you.
