The second sata is a promise 20378. I highly doubt it will work with the
sil driver. I have not found a free driver yet (the ft3xx driver is
supposed to work but appears to be binary only).
Of course if you can find an add in pci sil3112a card that would work.
Seems to be one of the best supported chipsets so far.
