	The SATA burner is a TSSTCorp  SH-S223F - rebranded Samsung. The
Lite-On is just a PATA reader.

	I thought you had an A8V based box - the SATA burner isn't
connected to the Promise controller at all it's connected to the VIA 6420
controller, but atapicam is reporting the wrong channel. See the post
where I put the atacontrol list in reply to Jeremy, atacontrol gets it
right.

	The Promise controller is driving a couple of hard discs, one of
them carrying my hammer filesystem - no RAID.

	It even burns discs despite them :)
