Ed, if you want to get a cheap sata card, you can talk to the member max1zzz and he can make one for you.
send him a pm and he can give you a cost per card
this would be your best option i would suggest u buy a few at a time this makes it
worth it both for him and for you
but it would take time for him to process this.. maybe a few weeks.

The via cards will have higher failer rate, but there cheep. Really cheap.

I can get them in the UK for around £5

I have had 3 of the PC via cards and only one ever gave me any problems, around once a month the controller would drop off the face of the earth, rebooting the server it was in brought it back online.

I would love to buy that SATA-IF150CM card, But my project budget is currently already allocated. But if someone was to buy the card i could dump the firmware from it

As for the MSATAII-12MAC, can you take a picture of that card? I always assumed it had a Sil3112 chipset on it, I am intrigued to hear ir is something different

I remember him telling pound...

My English skills are low-profile  ;D

In Spanish, when you make an affirmation but you are not tottally sure, you end the sentence with "¿No es asi?" and that means "Is it right?". I thought  "Don't?" would be the same. If Ed on U.K. can´t understand me, I wonder what U.S.A or Canadian folks would undestand.

I am tottally lost on translation...

I think the right expression should be:
He was in U.K. too, don't He?
Any way, There is no need to show personal data "in public". So no more on the max1zzz nationality topic please.
