It just means the chipset supports RAID (aka it can boot a RAID). The driver
does not contain any RAID code to take over after BIOS.

The only RAID that are supported are the Netcell SyncRAID controllers,
but that is becuse it is a pure hardware RAID dessign, so the driver doesn't
do anything special here either.

Only way to get this supported is to convince someone to do the job -
maybe it can be ported from Linux these days......

It is better to close your mouth, and look like a fool,
than to open it, and remove all doubt.

My bad I guess I misread it. Oh well I'll just keep running in IDE mode.
Thanks for the help & clarification.
