I have an old computer running CentOS 5. I need to add an SATA drive to it, but it doesn't have any ports, so I need an add-on card. The board only has a 32-bit PCI slot. Any recommendations on cards/brands that work well with CentOS? I don't need any raid capabilities, I just need a couple of SATA connections. Thanks, -- Bowie

They also have a uni-directional (meaning it adapts in one direction - data flows both ways of course) one if that meets you needs. HTH, Bill
