Good luck trying to find a BIOS for this
one... I have a remarked one called an
"STLab Pro I/O Controller"

It still has a 1.9.something BIOS, and I
can't even find the beta you mentioned. CMD
do not provide any kind of support to their
users with these controllers, and when I
follow their instructions to mail
sales@cmd.com and have them recommend a
course of action, I get no responce.

Good luck trying to get it working with
Linux, you could try third party ATA-100
patches, but the only *nix I've managed to
get it to talk to is FreeBSD.

Mine is extremely unstable in all opeating
systems (even in windows, with drivers
installed)

Silicon Image have a RAID bios for their (equivalent?) chip... at your own risk... http://www.siliconimage.com/products/sii0649.asp

No idea how you load it. Note the restriction on the size of the eeprom needed.
