	Yes the Promise controller has two SATA ports and one PATA port.
I'm using the PATA and one of the SATA ports. The VIA controller has two
PATA and two SATA ports, I'm using both SATA and one of the PATA.

So far so good

But this is not in fact connected to ata4 - it's connected to ata6.

	Yep but ...

This is in fact connected to ata1 (I thought it was ata0 but it's ata1)

	Here it is:

ATA channel 0:
    Master:      no device present
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 1:
    Master: acd1 <LITE-ON DVD SOHD-167T/9S19> ATA/ATAPI revision 5
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 2:
    Master:  ad4 <Maxtor 6Y250M0/YAR51HW0> Unknown serial ATA version
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 3:
    Master:      no device present
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 4:
    Master:  ad8 <Maxtor 6Y120P0/YAR41BW0> ATA/ATAPI revision 7
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 5:
    Master: ad10 <ST3300622AS/3.AAE> Serial ATA v1.0
    Slave:       no device present
ATA channel 6:
    Master: acd0 <TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223F/SB00> Serial ATA v1.0
    Slave:       no device present

	This listing matches where I have things plugged in.
