[update]

After some more investigation, I stumbled upon the thread that dealt
with the Promise 579 in October 2004, which contained a similar

so I made the changes

which does not yet look perfect, but it seems to work.

The disks are present in the system and can be partitioned. Will let

Any chance to have the adapter supported in the next release? :)
