req: best/recommended ATA100 controller on 2.2.xx or 2.4.xx

Hi

I'm thinking of buying new hardware to update my server (Slackware) to
use it as a workstation.. anyway, I'd like to use ATA100 drives, so in
everyone's experience, what's the best controller for linux?  Promise?
 I've heard of others (Trinity?), but I'm not quite sure which.
Thanks!

Hi Jason,

I use Promise ATA100 and it works well. I have two computers with ABIT KT7-RAID motherboard and it works well too (except that I can not use RAID chip as it cheap and support RAID only in software
driver - linux has own RAID driver which works well without this IC. There is another  issue - I can boot boot from that disks - some limitations of LILO -- have to use boot floppy). If you looking
solution for workstation you can use any mentioned. If you are looking for production server go with SCSI card and SCSI disks.
