A Mathey Serial ATA Card may be a re-packaged Firmtek card...
this may be true in 1 or 2 cases but also not in some cases...
firmtek's japanese cards are under the "ratoc" brand i think the "Ratoc" cards are all firmtek firmware.
im pretty sure i heard this directly from a firmtek rep, that ratoc is their company aswell.. or that they have a deal with them
to distribute their cards in japan.
re: mathey/macally THATS why i think this is so familiar..
i saw a picture of a mosue with the logo on it and i swore i have seen these before..
it looks too similar/idential to be a coincidence
http://www.ratocsystems.com/products/subpage/pci15pm.htmli would love to have a 3/1 setup like this card.. 1 esata, 3 internal,
for me this is ideal because u can have 1 external highspeed drive, 1 internal ssd boot, and then a dual raid for fast loading of samples
even firmtek doesnt sell a card with this set up.. u would have to get a 1v4 + 1 esata mounting bracket.. or perhaps a solution would be
to have a front 3.5" under the cd with a esata port there.. so u dont have to take up a pci slot for bracket for esata port.
