This is a pity because the Sil0680 chip is the cheapest and most widely available around. It is selling for less than US$20 here in Hong Kong with ATA133 and full "RAID" capabilities. While it may not be super fast, it does work alright under Windows environment. If it is indeed supported under 5.1-Current, that is great news.
