Hi Yes, that I've told several users that asked for this, however it will need changes to the AHCI code, and that needs alot of testing to 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 this, just as its always been. The problem is that the number of professional users/vendors that used to donated HW to keep ATA up to date has more or less dried up over the last 2-3 years... As I dont have the means to buy every possible board out there to get support going, the support will depend on what HW I eventually have access to here in the lab. -Søren On 26May, 2008, at 9:58 , Andrey V.
