Is what I need a PCI SATA 2 card?

I am trying to get a WD 750 working with an old Abit KT7A RAID mobo.

The PCI card I currently have is a SiI3112 A

It doesn't matter one single bit if that drive has died.

The drive is not dead. It is brand new. It is working find in my
main machine.

It is this drive.

First you can try to get a BIOS upgrade for the SiL Card,
to allow it to support the larger card. If that does not work,
the current Promise SATA cards support LBA48, which is enough
for 750GB (and quite a bit more).

My search skills are not good, but I did go to Silicon Image's web
page to look. Maybe someone can direct me to one, but I don't think
one exists. This is what I found.

No it isn't.

Maybe because SII don't do cards? They are chipmakers.
