a PCI based IDE card. You might be hard pressed to find a plain one because most have the same low end raid setups as the mobos use. Any raid card that supports JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Drives) can be used as a normal IDE controller.
I had a Promise Ultra100 TX2 card in an old computer which only had ATA/33 on the motherboard (440BX chipset). That was a fine card. If you wanted to boot Windows 2000 or XP from it, though, you needed to supply Setup with a floppy disk with the drivers. It's been discontinued but its replacement, the Ultra133 TX2[^] should still be available. If you're going to start adding additional controllers, though, you should probably consider switching to SATA disks (where possible).
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
