    I remember some rumours that it works with linux's i2c... but I did not manage
to make this work for me... Now I was looking again in google and here's what I found:
http://www.altlinux.com/index.php?module=sisyphus&package=kernel-source-promise-2003.12.25 -
seems that altlinux have some sort of package. I'll try this now, you can try compiling
it too :) Now this card works with RedHat 9, and I had to compile all the modules by
hand.

btw: I only managed to make promise work at 12MB/sec (hdparm -t /dev/sda) with 2+1 RAID5
80G disks and... I have 80G Baracuda with ECS K7S5A(SIS735) that gives 53MB/sec with
fedora 2.4 kernels (32MB/sec for RedHat 8/9 and ASPLinux 9)... very funny, isn't it?
