I have drivers for both in the works but since this is spare time work 
there is no timeline, unless it important enough for someone to contract 
me to do it ASAP.

The SX8 will be under ATA, but the EX83[50]0 will get their own driver 
as they are intelligent devices that doesn't fit the ATA driver model.
