Hi GV
Ok, upon further review, there IS NO 2.20.0.15 firmware for this
controller. It stopped at .14. The controller is a Promise Ultra100,
NOT an ultra100TX2 (which stopped at .15) and NOT a fasttrak100 which
stopped at 2.00.0.24.

Duh indeed. Sorry for that misread of the Promise info.
Thanks for the data.

One other element of this whole mishegas: the new power
supply I ordered for the system, a CoolerMaster 350w ordered
from Directron, showed up with a flaw: -6.14 volts being put
out on the -5v line. I've ordered another. Never seen that
issue on a PS before, but, as I'm wont to say, I'm blessed enuf
to see new problems I've never encountered before every day,
at least one, often several, ((I do this shmootz for part of a living))
which I believe helps keep senility a tad at bay.

Ok, this is very interesting. Just been playing with this thing a bit
more, and when you switch the jumpers for JP13/14 to the RAID instead
of ATA100, it switches from the Ultra100 to the FastTrak100. Either
way, with the last beta bios, both the Ultra100 and the FastTrak100
are the latest firmwares. Also JP13/14 either on 1-2, 2-3
(respectively) or both on 2-3, 2-3 just brings up the FastTrak100 bios
and 1-2 1-2 is the Ultra100 bios. Very interesting/weird.
