Re:WG: EIO DM-8401H ATA133 IDE Controller Card ( Silicon Image Chip ?!?)

[Shaheed]

Interestingly, EXACTLY the same thing happened to me. I actually bought a 
vanilla IDE controller for a spare disk, and in what showed up the 
documentation claimed it was a DM-8401R, but lspci shows what you see: and 
IT8212.

The answer was to get the good stuff from here:

http://www.iteusa.com/productInfo/Download.html#IT8212%20ATA133%20Controller

The driver install was a doddle (well documented, and easy to apply Mandrake 
9.1 instructions to 9.2). For heavens sake: these guys even provide the specs 
online. And the driver seems to work, though I am not stressing it.

Thanks, Shaheed
