At present I have hda  HDD, hdc HDD, hdb DVDRW all connected to the 
motherboard controllers.

hda & hdc are assigned as software raid. when I use hdb boy does the system 
suck :) so I was looking at moving hdb to PCI ATA controller.

looks like I might have got it the wrong way round. Bought a controller (v. 
cheap) with parallel ATA connections for my DVDRW and found it will not work 
as a PATA only a SATA with the kernel drivers available.
