Hi

Yes, that I've told several users that asked for this, however it will =20=

need changes to the AHCI code, and that needs alot of testing to =20
ensure it doesn't break any of the other dozen chipsets etc.

Anyhow, I still need hands on the HW to work in a rational way on =20
this, just as its always been.

The problem is that the number of professional users/vendors that used =20=

to donated HW to keep ATA up to date has more or less dried up over =20
the last 2-3 years...

As I dont have the means to buy every possible board out there to get =20=

support going, the support will depend on what HW I eventually have =20
access to here in the lab.
