[Nottingham] Re: Fake raid and linux

[Peter Woods]

I've got a PCI SATA Raid card spare. It doesn't play entirely well with 
my (old) M/B  BIOS.
It should be fine with a modern BIOS (which obviously does SATA.)

It is called EIO Serial ATA DM-8301R (Raid)
 From DABS @ ~£19
I thought I would put it on e-bay, but you know how it is.
