It appears as though VIA 64XX might be able to do hotplug, at least according to the Linux SATA pages - at least they don't claim "does not support for lack of information from PHY" or something to that extent which they do for other controllers. I am not sure if someone has actually tried to implement SATA hotplug for Linux on VIA chips though, so I'm deliberately writing "it appears ... it might", not "it does support...". Perhaps you can ask the Linux SATA guys where to look or get the needed specs. --=20 Matthias Andree
