The candidate Linux drivers would be ata/sata_promise, ata/sata_sx4, block/sx8, and scsi/stex. You tried sata_promise, and from looking at the PCI IDs I doubt the others are likely to drive the T3. If you can find an open-source T3 driver in some other operating system, like OpenSolaris, Darwin, or some *BSD, then that would be great. -- 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
