It looks that only Fasttrak100 TX/LP driver ver. 2.0.0.0 does work for
Fasttrak100 TX4 and Win2K.

I found it a hard way after trying to update to Fasttrak100 TX2/TX4
driver ver. 2.0.0.18 (the latest available from Promise web site). My
(by that time completely configured system) started hanging at Windows
boot! What a bummer! I wound up reinstalling Windows 2000.

Does anyone else have the same experience?

The 200MB/s would be for a PCI-66 slot, which is rare on the desktop.

Putting more than two moderns drives on a PCI-33/32 RAID 0 adapter is pretty
pointless. The storagereview and anardtech reviews of EIDE RAID never got
more than 80MB/s with any card.
