I recently installed a 3rd tx2 card in my fileserver. Up to that point I had one Promise ATA controller card in the bottom slot with another 2 in the system. I have flashed all three card's BIOS to the same firmware, however the Promise driver/bios screen at bootup shows only 8 ATA channels, instead of the 12 I should have. Anyone have any answers?

I did, but I switch the connection to the mobo because it wasn't detecting the attached drive. I have a dual MP mobo with 4 IDE channels, and now the 3&4 "RAID" channels seem to be working fine in IDE mode. I'm getting a Promise sata card anyway, SO I guess It's n be deal, just seems weird when they won't detect all 3 usign the same bios and drivers.
