Promise FastTrak100 TX4 - Opinions?

BladeRunner
Is anybody here using the FastTrak 100 TX4? This is the RAID 0+1 controller that has 4 IDE channels on rather than the 2 found on the original FastTrak 66/100 & TX2. I'm liking the idea of this card, means I can run my RAID 0+1 array (40x 60GB IBM drives) with all 4 drives having their own IDE channel.
