RE: [t13] SATA

You've hit on one of the great flaws of storage adapters. There isn't a host controller standard for serial - ata (yet, cross fingers).   -----Original Message----- From: Gana Pat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 11:39 AM To: Gary Laatsch Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [t13] SATA   Thanks Gary, But the Serial ATA spec does not talk about the software much. It says its software compatible with the predecessors. But I am not sure how it is done. Do you know any pointers where I can get more details on the Serial ATA HBAs and their standards ?   Gana ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Laatsch To: Gana Pat Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 10:25 AM Subject: RE: [t13] SATA   www.serialata.org.  You can find the spec. there.   gary laatsch   -----Original Message----- From: Gana Pat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 10:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [t13] SATA Hi , Can I discuss regarding Serial ATA here ?   If yes here goes my questions.   I heard that the SATA is software compatible with Parallel ATA. But how far it holds good in terms of devices per channel (port) ? I heard that they are also working on the Hubs with which you can connect more devices per channel. Is this true ?   Anyone knows any info on this ?   Your help is highly appreciated.   Thanks, Gana
