HighPoint ATA100/RAID Support

[Tim Schmidt]

Yeah, I just put together a system using the KT7-RAID (HPT370) w/ (2) 15Gb 
IBM UDMA-100 7200RPM Drives w/ 2Mb Cache in a RAID-0 array.  It is 
definately the fastest IDE setup I've ever seen.  It makes my DC-390U2W look 
funny ;(  Oh well, you still can't beat SCSI for CD-R's!
