I purchased a Gateway SATA150/IDE133 PCI card and installed it in one
of my computers. It does come with a driver, but I ran the win98
install CD and it recognized it without the driver. I'll have to try
the ECS 1.1 install and see if it does too. The PCI card seems to be
recognized as SCSI with Promise technology. The instructions with this
card says it will not work with IDE ATAPI devices such as CD/DVD.
