I need to find out if anyone has built a device driver for the
PROMISE Technology Inc. EIDEmax disk controller, which is used as the
SECONDARY controller with a third driver. or how to build a /dev/hdc
driver FAQ?

I need the device driver /dev/hdc, in order to re-compile the kernel for
a new boot floppy/system in order for linux fdisk to recognize my third drive.

 DRIVE ONE: first controller IDE
  /dev/hda1 first controller first partition

 DRIVE TWO:
  /dev/hdb1 first controller first partition          slave drive

*DRIVE THREE: Promise Technology EIDEmax
  /dev/hdc1 SECOND controller first partition        

Any ideas/help?

Thank-you,
Steve A. Walker

Recent kernels support the dual controllers of EIDE. If you have
your two controllers setup with the correct IO addresses and
interrupts you should get instant gratification. If not, EIDE
controllers with 2S+P run about $19-$39 depending on the bus
(ISA/EISA/VLB/PCI) and quality of the UARTs. You could save a slot
and a lot of trouble buy throwing a $20 bill at the problem.

See above. Configured right it should work with the standard EIDE
controller.
