I have RH7.2 with everything upgraded on it. KDE3 etc..

I will be buying a new hd and will need an ATA Controller card. I have found a spare controller card made by " Digital Research" and CMD chipset 0648-C01 ..

Will it work?
 
Thanks... but i have looked at both sites and not found much information.

I have also looked at the Promise Ultra TX2100 card but there are no drivers at their site for Linux.

does Linux in general just support any ATA Controller card ?
 
Linux supports more IDE and SCSI cards out of the box than any version of Windows...


Linux supports most all IDE cards... EXCEPT those that are the FAKE RAID cards..because the RAID is fake and really implemented in the windows drivers..which of course are not used in Linux..

The Promise cards are pretty well supported...and the 3ware cards are the absolute best..the are actually the BEST IDE cards you can get...but thats another story.

You can check the Linux Hardware Database for a particular card or device..

Here are the IDE controllers listed there:

ALSO here is the list offically supported ATA Cards:
