Everything is possible given enough time to work on it :)

Porting a Linux driver in this case would be a complete waste of time =20=

as ATA has most of what's needed to support it, just not the last =20
chip specific bits.

I started working on the 88SX50* long ago, but it has sort of stalled =20=

due to other more pressing or interesting things. However I will =20
eventually get back to it and have it supported in ATA.
