I'm not sure how far this has gone into 7 yet, but it would be a "real =20= cool thing"(tm) to have the latest ATA module work back into 7.1 as =20 well. Its a no brainer actually with no functional changes other than =20= the possibility to load chipset specific code as modules. I know that a few HW vendors out there would *LOVE* this so they could =20= make modules for their HW to support FreeBSD on new fancy HW, mind you =20= that might be binary modules but still better than no support at all. =20= That would also offload the work on yours truely to concentrate on new =20= functionality etc instead of hunting new HW support all the time. -S=F8ren
