Actually $45 was the cheapest one I could find locally. Maxtor ATA/133,
which is really a Promise card.

And the advice was correct. Once I got around to installing the thing,
speed returned to normal. I have the boot drive on channel 1 of the
motherboard controller, my two CD drives on channel 2, and the Maxtor 40 gig
drive on channel 1 of the new controller.

In setting things up, I found EVMS, a wonderful utility if you don't know
which drive ended up as which device. I recommend it to anyone installing
new drive controllers or drives.
