Promise ATA100 Card to ATA100 RAID Modification?

[Robbed]

Any word yet on whether or not this ultra100 card can be modified like the ulta66 to become a fasttrack100 like the ultra66 could easily become the fastrack66. Just interested in saving money.

Quote from another forum:

don't know how to mod an Ultra100 into a Fasttrak100 or even if it is possible, but did run across this on auction site. At first glance it looks like someone is selling a Fasttrak100, but if you look down at the bottom of the page it says this.

"This card is a modified Promise Technolgies Ultra ATA/100 card guaranteed 100% to work like the original FastTrak100."

(cant give link, apparently forbidden word)

Is this for real or just a scam? I don't know.

As for modifying the Ultra66 to the Fasttrak66 with the latest bios, I have heard you can do so. You just have to use an earlier version on the flashing program Ptflash.exe instead of the version of Ptflash.exe that's included with the latest bios. Theres also the poss that the old flasher will do the same w/ATA100? I think these older flashers are gonna be sought after stuff.(Not on site anymore)

Could be a scam, I read a post here that someone did a bios update to their u66 and installed the u100 drivers and it was shown as a u100 in device manager.
