hello,
can people with working or not-working sata adapters please list the chips they use.
i want to build a table of compatability.
ones i will test in the coming months as i find them:
Sunplus - SPIF223A
Jmicron - JM20330
and whatever is under the sticker on this:

this is soo compact, i hope it will work!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
so i am making a list now.
these chipsets can work.
Marvell - 88SA8052 (SATA2 3Gb/s)
JMicron - JM20330 (SATA 1.5Gb/s) - have datasheet, is bi-directional, is master/slave configurable.
DOF - B75KD0241
these are untested - but i found they exist.
Marvell - 88SA8040 (SATA 1.5Gb/s) - have pinout
Sunplus - SPIF223A (SATA 1.5Gb/s) - have datasheet, is bi-directional, is master/slave configurable.
Silicon Image - SIL3811 (SATA 1.5Gb/s) - may be sata-host only
DOF - B74KW0141 (is this the same as DOF - B75KD0241 ???)
the board must have a jumper / pad to select master or slave drive,
(or be modded if we have the pinout of the chip)
one thing i know from upgrading ps3's,
unless your using the Marvell - 88SA8052 your drive must respond to SATA1 speeds.
some drives need a jumper to make that work.
