Adrian,

I've had success in modifying the BIOS on my 6BX7+ to use the latest code
for the onboard ATA66 controller. From my notes, I used CBROM, V1.3 to
remove and install the updated Promise code, and MODBIN77 to update the BIOS
string shown at startup. There may be other programs out on the net to
use - from my notes, MODBIN77 only worked on Windows 9x, and not on
Win2K/XP.

Never tried the hardware mod to convert the controller over to RAID - I only
run one hard drive on my 6BX7+ so I don't have the need.

I did the mod of my BIOS back in 2001, and the board has been running fine
24/7 since then as a firewall.
