But this problem floating in this list for a long time. Even he was wiling to do something with this problem "next week"...but there was always something more important, that is pretty well understandable. Because if you have such port on such chip - almost for sure you have some more PATA ports where you can connect PATA device. But if you have SATA device - and some SATA card/chip on MB...it still much more important problem, Because you probably don't have more SATA ports in your HW. And, of course, almost for sure this port not going to be involved into RAID business. Anton.
