I've got open discussions with both Supermicro and LSI at the moment, and have shipped one of them a backplane and HBA to demonstrate this since they couldn't replicate it easily in-house. I also wouldn't claim SGPIO is disabled on any of these cards - any of the RAID cards don't expose the

My short example would be something like the original message, but In brief, pages 27-28 of SFF-8485 [tables 24-27, in section 8.4.4 GPIO transmit registers] have what you want - I could reproduce the table here, but that'd be convoluted to do in text. :) With two LSI 9201-16i HBA attached,
