The ones I > have are PCI, though. Hopefully there are PCI variants of the hardware > you're testing. Most of newer hardware is PCIe. But SiI3124 is PCI-X and earlier SiI3112/3114 are PCI ones (first is more interesting, as it uses new driver and more functional). Also it would be good to check generic PCI ATA controller, if there is some on-board. -- Alexander Motin
