Jan,
Motherboards that have integrated Promise Ultra/100 controller use the 20265 chipset. The standard Promise Ultra/100 PCI card uses the 20267 chipset. However, both chipsets are supported in Andre patch dated 08/05 or later. The latest patch is dated on 08/25. You can download it at the following site:
