   This driver disk adds support for the SiI SATA controller. This driver
   overrides the Open Source Driver

   Supported Versions:

      * RedHat Linux 8.0 , 9.0 and RH EL 3.0

2. CREATE FLOPPY

   dd if=sii6514.img of=/dev/fd0  (In a Linux System) 
      See Full Install if you want to use WINDOWS to create
          the floppy
      
   => Configure RAID SET using the BIOS if you want RAID functionality
   *  Make sure BIOS reports drives as 'current' (if using RAID)

3. INSTALL SOFTWARE
