Hello, I have at last given up on the hope that the above mentioned hardware will work any time soon, so I'm waiting for my Promise TX2200 cards to arrive tomorrow! :-) But as things are today, I think it would be best to remove support for SiI3112A. Especially since the general attitude towards it is "it's too broke, we don't want to waste any more time on it". Attempting to use it in a 5.3-RELEASE or 6-CURRENT system will most likelly make your system crash and burn, and make your data unrecoverable beyond repair. I think FreeBSD ATA subsystem rocks and beats any ATA subsystem in existance, but when we know something doesn't work with it, we should not pretend it does. Mvh, Frode Nordahl
