Here is my problem. I have a Maxtor SATA/150 PCI card, however my drive is connected to the Ultra ATA 133 port. Card has 2 SATA and 1 ATA port. When Knoppix boots, I see it loading the 2 SATA ports as SCSI1 SCSI0, but it never loads the 3rd ( middle ) port. Is there a seperate driver for this port? I know the hardware sees the drive. The drive is a Maxtor Ultra 9 Plus 250GB /133 ATA. Any help would be appreciated.

This might be of help: http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html

Also are there IDE channels on your logic board that you could use?

Sata on linux still has some growing pains, and you are trying to use a pci card with
IDE and SATA which might be a little exotic-good luck.
