Beware the Fine Print

Bad news in Mini-ITX-Land. The hard drive that I had running on my Mini-ITX is being donated to a computer that I'm building for my parents. Unfortunately I bought a Serial ATA drive [newegg.com] and a Barebones system supporting SATA [newegg.com]. Problem is that the system sports a Soltek SL-B7C-FGR [soltek.com.tw] mainboard which does support SATA, but only when RAIDed. So, I needed two hard drives or a new system. I just dropped in my PIDE drive and called it a day. I'm still trying to get the controller to work in non-RAID mode but it's not going so hot. Oh well.
