For raid check out the Startech PCIIDE100R PCI raid card. It's bootable, 
and has 2 IDE connectors. I use it for 2 DVD's where motherboard (Intel 
D965-LT) has one IDE (2 hard drives) and 4 SATA unused at this time. 
Startech tech support supplied a custom driver for me since I'm not 
using the Raid at this time.
