OK, but I have the older non-raid just ATA100 controller version, which is why
I suspect it might not work.

To be more precies, my cards (I have 3 in the machine) identify as

atapci0: <Promise ATA100 controller> port 0x7800-0x783f,0x7400-0x7403,0x7000-0x7007,0x6c00-0x6c03,0x6800-0x6807 mem 0xe1000000-0xe101ffff irq 5 at device 8.0 on pci1
atapci1: <Promise ATA100 controller> port 0x8c00-0x8c3f,0x8800-0x8803,0x8400-0x8407,0x8000-0x8003,0x7c00-0x7c07 mem 0xe1020000-0xe103ffff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci1
atapci2: <Promise ATA100 controller> port 0xa000-0xa03f,0x9c00-0x9c03,0x9800-0x9807,0x9400-0x9403,0x9000-0x9007 mem 0xe1040000-0xe105ffff irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci1

Unfortunately I don't have any other model numbers right now, but based on the
Promise website I think it is an Ultra100 (non-TX2 version).

Anyway, I should have done some more research myself before asking this
question because the Ultra100 does have support with an updated BIOS (I missed
this the first time apparently):

Thanks for the response though, it caused me to search the Promise site again :)
