Is there a 4-channel UDMA/100 PCI card out there?

[Fun Guy]

I am looking to hang four UDMA/100 drives off a card and I want each drive to be accessible on its own at all times. This means that a basic 2-channel, 4-connector card (like the Promise Ultra100 card) is not what I am looking for - I am looking for either a 4-channel, 4-connector card, or a 4-channel, 8-connector card, either one is fine.

Anyone know where I can get one?

The closest thing that I am aware of is 3ware's Escalade 6000 series. However, they are all ATA66 and RAID.

if you've got the space & free irqs then use 2 promise ATA 100 cards!

Of course, I know that is an option. I am reluctant to use 2 PCI slots, hence I am looking for a 1-card solution.

Pick up a big IDE RAID card, they should let you do it non-RAID. You could JBOD too, span everything into one huge drive.. and if they are all the same size, RAID 5 for security and only loose one drive of data.
