Because AFAIK there is no winraid onboard SCSI chips.  Now with SATA I
can almost guarentee 99.9% of the onboard 'RAID' is winraid.

Also his statement of "cheap efficiency I use the simple RAID that the
motherboard has onboard, which is precisely the thing that grub has the
most trouble with"

Sounds like onboard winraid to me...
