I actually bought a vanilla IDE controller for a spare disk, and in what showed up the documentation claimed it was a DM-8401R, but lspci shows what you see: and IT8212. The answer was to get the good stuff from here: http://www.iteusa.com/productInfo/Download.html#IT8212%20ATA133%20Controller The driver install was a doddle (well documented, and easy to apply Mandrake 9.1 instructions to 9.2). For heavens sake: these guys even provide the specs online. And the driver seems to work, though I am not stressing it. Thanks, Shaheed
