I have a Lindy CardBus Adapter with 2 x eSATA connectors (No. 70996), which uses a Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3512 Serial ATA Controller. It works well with Windows XP on my Lenovo ThinkPad Z60t and a Seagate FreeAgent Pro eSATA drive.
The Device Detection Tool for Developer 1/08 detects it as does its equivalent on the live CD for OpenSolaris 2008.05. However, with SXCE svn_87 there is no driver attached according to prtconf. Narayana Aroori's Weblog: http://blogs.sun.com/nachiketa/entry/general_notes_on_sata_support suggests that that this problem may be related to the BIOS on the controller. If it is in RAID mode it won't work. Has anyone been more successful with this adapter on any variant of Solaris?
