David, et. al,

Yes, I now have SuSE 7.3 + WinXP running hardware RAID0!

For future reference:

- Created the two Promise RAID boot/driver disks
- Went through the SuSE knowledgebase and tried every
   suggestion but found  -= the =- item that fixed my
   issue:

   http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/wessels_raid133.html

Now I'm just down to GUI issues, i.e. ATi 8500 is using
some sort of default/low res mode (and SAX can't seem to
fix it). That GF4 is looking better all the time...

FYI - fun stuff

- Mark
