    All,

      I suppose I was not clear about the reason for using the on mobo RAID
    chipsets. I simply want to have the ability to use more than 4 IDE
    devices. I thought using the on board RAID controller was a easy
    solutions. I suppose not.

      All I want to do is to have the ability to run 4 IDE harddrives and 2
    CD/DVD ROM/RW drives. I am told that SATA can be used a host. But that
    is not the best for me as I have to buy SATA drive and my ATA drives
    wont do.
    If any of you have suggestions short of buying a new ATA card, I am
    eager to know.

    Thanks and Regards
    Ramesh
