Hi. I've just purchased a VLB Multi-I/O card which uses the Holtek chipset. 
According to the docs this card supports 2 IDE channels and has 2 16550 com 
ports plus the usual games port and printer port.

Everything is installed and working fine (although I'm not sure whether there's 
much improvement in disk I/O speed over my old generic ISA multi-I/O card) 
with the standard OS/2 drivers (IBM1S605.ADD etc) at FP22 level.

The documentation does, however, mention specific OS/2 drivers for the IDE 
controller under the filename HTIDE.ADD. No disk was supplied with the card and 
according to the retailer the manufacturer no longer supplies the driver disk.

Does anyone know whether or not there are Holtek drivers available and whether
or not there is any performance to be gained? I couldn't find any mention of
this driver on the OS/2 Device Driver Repository site, nor did a Web search 
for Holtek turn up much of any interest.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers,
Rod.
