Update:
The Ultra133 TX2 did not play nice with two different BX systems (motherboards). The card initializes fine and sees the drives (primary master mechanical HDD, primary slave marvell adapter), but it corrupts the data on the mechanical drives (not using trim or anything, it just corrupts data out of the blue).
Looking at very old internet posts, it seems this was a common issue with these cards.
So back to the on-board ports it is... UDMA2 should be enough for what this system is going to be used for. I may update the BIOS on the card some day and try again.
On my 440BX based P3B-F, the Ultra133 TX2 prevents POST from finishing . The same Ultra133 TX2 card works fine in an 815EP based board (Ipox IP-3ETI23) . This is with the latest available BIOS installed on the card .
