no, i have the promise ata/100 controller chips, one on my motherboard
(PDC20265) and a couple of PCI cards with PDC20267.  i think that's
different from the Promise RAID cards.  i was mostly responding to chris,
who said ata/100 isn't in the debian kernel-patch-ide... maybe the
answer to "am I missing something here?" is "44mb/s".
