This is promising news (the PCI 133MHz IDE Controller). I think there is still a bottleneck of the Zorro 3 bus DMA (10MB/s?). But, it would be nice to use a cheaper solution, and access to features like RAID0/RAID1 is nice.
Any status on the SB Live! driver? I've got one of those sitting around waiting to be popped in when I build the system. I guess if I get to it I'll just buy a SB128 (or I might have a compatible Ensoniq around here somewhere).
