I'll have to check it out.

One thing that's nice about XUB is that the MODULE_ADVANCED_ATA module has support for QDI Vision VLB IDE controllers with Promise 20230C support in testing.

It will be interesting to see how the PROMISE EIDE PRO ISA compares to XUB with a Promise 20230C card.

edit: had the wrong module
