Not trying to slight Jeff here in any way, but I thought I'd point out one driver-less SATA chip that seems to have docs available. When looking for a sata controller I came across several inexpensive ones based on an Initio chipset, and at first glance it seems that they have docs out there*: http://www.initio.com/products/sata.htm but no drivers yet. Just in case anyone is interested :) -Eric *knowing next to nothing about SATA, I have no idea if these docs are sufficient.
