Hello! Was google around and found this post with great information about eSATA and port multiplier support in OpenSolaris.
I have still some questions though: > ying tian - Beijing China wrote: > Thanks for your concern. I'm working on SATA/AHCI port multiplier > support right now.

I guess you have the hardware at hand and have tested this combination, does the Sil3762/4726 support ICH9 eSATA? I thought only Sil-chipset was supported? I have an ASUS P5K SE which has the ICH9 chipset with an eSATA port, If the Sil3726 is supported, I can save a PCIe port other thing, great! > I guess that you have a SiI3132 SATA controller, and the port multiplier > is a SiI3276. > Currently we do not have a plan to add SiI31xx controller to the support > list because lack of resource.

I thought that Sil3132/3124 was functioning and "supported" in OpenSolaris already?
