It has been a few months, any news on port multiplier support? If not, how does this "intelligent enough to hide the details" stuff work? Does the controller lie to the OS and say "I have 6 ports" rather than "I have 2 ports" and then the device says "I'm a 5:1 portmultiplier"? Is there a magic string one can search for to find these intelligent controllers?Received on Wed Apr 09 2008 - 20:37:04 UTC
