atapi controller

[nausicaa]

i am looking for a simple pci controller card. even if its just one channel...just looking for something inexpensive. from what i have seen, something like highpoint's rocket133s would be wonderful...BUT i need it for atapi devices, which it doesn't support. a little help please...

What do you need it for? I have a Promise IDE controller card. I did not have problem connecting hard drive and CDROM to it.

i need it for cdrom/zip drive. the reason i ask is because on newegg, it says highpoint cards dont support atapi devices(cdroms). is this misinformation? and if not, is this limited to only the highpoint line?

Maybe you can get an Promise card instead. I did not have any problem using my with CDROM.
