I have a Marvell 88SA8040 bridge at hand and the bridge has been tested with SiI 3112 and it works ok with SiI 3112 and several CD-ROM drives. Don't know whether the Marvell 88SA8040 works with SVIA. Unicorn (on the cc list) has a VIA VT6421 SATA adapter. Will try connecting the Marvell 88SA8040 with the VIA VT6421 and see if it works. -- albert - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
