You are wrong, in the case you are speaking of those "fake" RAID
adapters like the Belkin IDE the OP asked about or the low budget
Promise or HighPoint controllers. they are just BIOS supported pure
software (with special, often closed source driver) controllers.
Speaking of IDE RAID controllers only the 3ware controllers are real
hardware RAID controllers. They have an own logic chip doing the job.
