Hi,

> Any way to get this card working with YDL?

Short answer, no.  Go get an ACard 133 and it will work fine out of the box 
with MacOSX and YDL.

The Sonnet ATA133 is using a later model Promise IDE controller and the 
Promise IDE driver in the kernel was/is pretty messed up.  Ben 
Herrenschmidt was able to hack some changes in that got a slightly 
different Promise controller to work for the Xserve but I had absolutely 
no luck with it.

The Acard 133 works very nicely with the kernel aec62xx.c driver and with 
MacOSX.  It has been a dream to work with so far.
