Will this controller work?

I found these on a Dutch auction site:

LSI chip based.

 

Would it work?

I am not sure about the 2 dells, then newer versions should, but those are the older ones.

 

The last one, the IBM M1015 does work. many people are using those including myself.

 

A word of caution.

you do have to reflash those before you can use them. the reflash seems to only work on certain motherboards so it be an a problem for you if your board is not compatible for flashing.
