Some of them has a some intelligence but not much. Adding support for using them as "Normal" ATA device is probably easy todo, getting beyond that will most likely be "real work". > I have a total of 8 things on here with no drivers attached.

For ATA I might get you some patches to try for stock ATA support, for anything beyond that the answers is "depends". If it fits the current ATA framework (which is most likely) support can be added for the more intelligent parts but it will require quite a bit of "ATA driver fu" to get it done right... -- -Søren
