Thank Promise, too. They are actively supporting my efforts on this driver with hardware and docs. Promise has also provided Arjan (author of "pdcraid") with documentation on their vendor-specific RAID format, and they are making other efforts to better support open source, and be more friendly with the open source community.

And it's working, I would not have purchased a SATA150 TX4 for my new server if libata did not have support for it. I know, it's small potatoes, they didn't make much money off that sale, but everything helps. The only other 4-port (non RAID) SATA card I have seen was from SIIG, but it has disappeared from their web site and distributors, and libata's support for the Sil3114 on it isn't ready yet anyway :-)
