Has anyone out there managed to get the above card to work properly under
linux?
Of course the card works okay, but what about the caching drivers? the
manufacturers provide some UN*X driversr for it, but I can't get them to
work, anyone else had any luck?

Same here. Although, I wonder how you managed to read that floppy.

1. Promise DC-4030VL/2 cache controller + AWE32 soundcard
Only the first two drives will be found by Linux,
due to the very non-standard hardware on that card,
coupled with the complete lack of interest from Promise
in having it work under Linux.
But.. folks are reverse-engineering it, and support may come
someday Real Soon Now, in the 1.3.xx kernel stream.
For the cdrom on this card, you will require the 1.3.xx kernel stream.
See the README.ide file that is included with the kernel source for 1.3.xx.
