Greetings Mark!

I put linux-kernel back, in case someone else has ideas.

I will check it (the card is at home and I am in the office) and let you know.

"Silicon Image PCI0680"

(or something like that)

Well, if it, as you say, works in "ata compatibility mode"
and there is no specific driver (in Linux) then it is not
broken but (currently, under Linux) just _very_ slow,
until someone writes a specific driver for that chipset.

But I am not interested in subtle semantics of "slow" vs "broken".
All I want is for my data to arrive at the disk (and come back, sometimes)
a bit faster! :)

Kind regards
Tigran
