I had heard SATA supported one device per port: thus a master only, no slave. A min cost host might support the connection of a boot hard drive, a CD drive, and nothing else ... unless the Else included a more or less vendor-specific hub of its own to give the appearance of a daisy chain, like parallel printer port devices often do. Is that baseless slander? Curiously yours, Pat LaVarre
