From the ASUS site, or from www.planetamd64.com. Trying to get drivers from
Promise directly is generally less successful. I'd start with the ASUS
site -- I haven't looked lately, they may have updated the ones available
for the Promise. But last I looked there were RAID only, no straight SATA.
In my experience, you're better off using the VIA controller.
