I have used several Promise ATA/100 cards with success.  Videl has one
of those exact cards in order to control the 120GB hard drive used by
the FTP mirror.

Are you sure you aren't using it in RAID mode?  RAID mode is largely
unsupported with those low-end IDE controllers, but single IDE disks
should work great in Linux.
