Pogo Linux announces new IDE-RAID workstation

[Randall Hofland]

I know I seem to be about the only one interested in the IDE RAID
solutions, but I spotted this in my emails today and thought it might
yet perk up the interest of others. They are now offering a $1500 AMD
Athlon based workstation with ATA/100-RAID using the Promise Fast Track
controller board. I will note that their web site has some problems with
configuration information which will become quickly evident if you go
there:

Has anyone heard anything about it since there has been some conflicting
information about running IDE RAID under Linux? And they appear to be
making a killing on their upgrades, so I would suggest look into
building your own.

But for diehard SCSI fans, MSI now offers an Athlon board with UW3-160
and firewire on board. Could be the hot setup for do-it-yourselfers.
