Re: More on SATA cards

Yes they do!

Dell delivered my new 400SC server with a Promise S150 TX2  (PDC20371).. This 
server was delivered to me three weeks ago. And it wont work on OpenBSD 3.6 
due to lack of PDC20371 support ....... So Dell do deliver Promise!

What was the controller Dell used before for CERC-SATA ?
