I ran into the same problem Bailey is talking about. I had some old PC's with drives that had data I wanted off. I got a Promise ATA66 card. The drives were 1 Seagate, 1 Quantum, and 2 Conners. The seagate would not play nice with any of the other three on the controller card. Wound up slaving the Quantum to the HD on IDE 1 and putting the Seagate on one of the Promise channels by itself and the Conners on the other controller card channel.
