Are there any drivers being developed for Promise's SATA chips
(e.g. the pdc20275 with PCI id 0x3375)? Or do I have to disassemble
their driver to use it on non-intel machines?

Last I checked there was no open driver and no prospect of one. Do
yourself a favor and use the silicon image chipset.

There is no such thing as obsolete hardware.
Merely hardware that other people don't want.

The problem is that no local dealers have it for sale. Neither do
they sell Hightpoint gear.

Shouldn't someone try to get some from them? Or has it already been
tried? I tried sending email to an address I found in the existing
pdc* driver, but it bounces.
If they refuse to cooperate like this I can Promise I will never buy
any of their cards.

NOPE !!
Neither Promise or I can agree to a contract to develop them.
Use Silicon Image products.

What's the problem? Can't they be made to release the source code to
the driver they provide for intel machines?
> Use Silicon Image products.
I can't get them.

The problem is they want an entire list of every piece of intellectual
property I have or own. This is a means to claim anything else I do is
derived off their IP and they own it. This will not happen.
Some other poor bastard can sign their NDA's to write their drivers.
> the driver they provide for intel machines?
Right, I count the number of fingers I have before and after I shake hands
with the folks in their camp. If I get an extra, I feel sorry for the
poor bastard who was there before me.
I still have 4 fingers and 1 thumb on each hand, and I plan to keep it
that way.

Hogwash, they dominate the market space and are on all the Intel
Mainboards that are 845e and above.

Btw. I've looked and the "HighPoint RocketRAID 1540" (4 Channel
Serial-ATA) looks "nice".
Is/Should this controller be supported by the "siimage"-driver?

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as

wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.

This one is the HPT374 with Marvell bridge chips slapped on it.
It is natively supported with the PATA driver.
Cheers,

Mine do... but, I cannot find, which driver to use?
cmd64x.c? I am referring to older, non-SATA boards...
I am using 2.4 kernel (currently 2.4.20).
