Clearly, there is some kind of conflict going on with the 2nd SATA card. But what exactly?
I have now learned that this appears to be a limitation of the bridge on the motherboard; it can only handle four SATA drives. Apparently, if I want more than four SATA drives in my system, I need either a server-grade motherboard which supports upwards of eight SATAs, or a high-end Promise SATA controller which has its own bridge. For the time, being I will have to make do with what I have, but I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with these Promise cards. -- Colin Brace Amsterdam
