Hi Peter,  you can count me in for $50.  Will send it here in the next 
couple of hours or so.  On a humorous note, I keep getting these emails 
from *supposedly*  EBay and Paypal telling me that my account is about 
to be closed due to hackers infiltrating their system.  LOL  And the 
email senders' addresses come from .ro  LOL  They always want to

The only gotcha is that I can't take credit card sourced payments, I
only have a basic paypal account and don't want to upgrade it (because
then paypal take a cut of everything).

Do you have a list of things (particular devices or general
categories) that would be useful for your work and an address ? :)
Currently the most wanted list includes:
SATA disks that supports NCQ and preferably also need 48bit addressing 
that is are bigger than 137G. Maxtors newest diamondmax 10 are a good 
bet here.

SATA enclosures for hotswap support, Promise SuperSwap 4100 is a useable 
candidate as I can get docs on those.

SATA ATAPI devices, CD/DVD drives/burners.
Further down the line Port Multipliers etc, but we are not there yet..
The address I can give you in private mail if it gets that far

Hi guys,
This is the first post I have seen on stable about SATA.  (ok, maybe I'm 
not subscribed to the right lists)  Anyway I bought a brand new 
beautiful Plextor DVD+RW SATA drive (PX712SA) for use on my AMD64+3800 
machine.  Win XP64-beta won't recognize it, and neither will FreeBSD 
5.3-RELEASE, AMD64.  I am wondering what I am doing wrong?  If you are 
willing to help just email me and I can send dmesg and/or kernel config 
file to you and keep it off the list.  I am using the socket 939 chip on 
an Abit AV8 mobo.   Only one of the two SATA channels is used.   I have 
two SCSI 160 drives, one for Windoze and one for FBSD.  So the only 
thing normal IDE is used for is the floppy drive.

Thanks if you can help,
Rob.

SATA ATAPI devices are not supported yet.
There are a few gotcha's though. Not all SATA controllers does support 
SATA ATAPI even if out driver would, so its a mixed blessing for now.
Anyhow, as soon as I can get my hands on a SATA ATAPI device, be certain 
that I'll get support in there, for those controllers that support it 
that is. However SATA ATAPI devices are still extremely rare, at least 
in this part of the woods...

Same here, I could remove it and ship it to you today, probably 2nd day 
air, or one of the cheaper but fast services.  If P, however, doesn't 
have to tear his computer all apart LOL, maybe that might be a better 
solution for me.

Sincerely,  Rob.
ps.  I just found a disk that shipped with the mobo.  I thought it was a 
SATA raid driver, but it looks from the title SATA Driver Disk that it 
might be more generic.  At least I might be able to get Windoze working 
with this drive.

I'm going to work on it soon thats for sure, however I have lots on the 
burner currently so its no rush. However all kinds of (S)ATA/ATAPI gear 
is always most welcome here in the lab, the levels of support I can 
provide is directly proportional to the amount of HW I have access to :)

I am not great at mailing things.  My sister is still waiting for
