Has there been any progress on the SiI 3124 / 3132 family of SATA controllers? The most recent post I could find was the same question as this, posted http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-August/003695.html . There are Linux (GPL) and Solaris drivers (unknown); the Linux status page at http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#sii3124 suggests that documentation was even forthcoming from SiI (see bottom of http://linux-ata.org/devel.html ). The eSATA PCIe controllers (like http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/adsa3gpx1.asp) seem like useful additions for storage. So anyway, knowing full well that there's no FBSD driver yet I went out and bought a 3124-based PCI-X card, which I'm offering for use in testing or as a tester. If worse comes to worse, I will have to take a stab at porting the Linux driver -- it's not very big and for the purposes of having straightforward 4 ports it seems doable. So to return to the first question: any progress in this area? Has someone claimed this yet (S/oren comes to mind)? -- Adriaan de Groot KDE Quality Team http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org/ SQO-OSS Researcher http://www.sqo-oss.eu/
