I'm interested in the Shuttle barebones system that folks were
discussing a week or so ago.  It uses the Nvidia4 chipset.

Googling around about the nvidia controller seems to say that the
device supports NCQ.

Is the lack of NCQ support that you're reporting simply a matter of a
feature that's not yet implemented or is there a more fundamental
problem?

Thanks,
