searched for "Promise Drivemax", and this was one of the items that
came up.
"Not too long ago Promise used to sell an IDE BIOS that did exactly
that - it was a small card with a ROM on it that used the existing
controller elsewhere in the machine. One would 'disable' the existing
controller by setting the drive type to zero in the BIOS, which would
still allow the hardware to respond if it was accessed. The Promise
ROM would then do the rest."
Since this was evidently how the Promise Drivemax was supposed to
work, it makes sense to me that the Promise EIDEMAX would work the
same way.
