Excellent, that's good to know. But where does one acquire a non-raid
bios for the card though?
Thanks!

Hi,
sil3124 may need to be booted in a pc with a drive attached and
flashed with nonraid bios. At leats this is a must for systems like
opensolaris even on a pc platform.
Appart from that, this chipset is probably best at it's price level,
we use it in some servers 24/7 for years.
Have a nice day!

Any recommendations for a good sata card for a pci-x powermac

with debian?
The ones I've looked at so far either:
- have a raid "bios" which i assume is unaccessible on ppc and
may or
may not provide raw access to the disks by default. the best i
can find
on this front are sii3124 based cards which have some hideous
java ui
which proportedly works on linux (no doubt via X11, not the
command line)
- support osx, but there is no mention of other OS support, nor
of what
chipset the card uses (for example firmtek seritek 1v4)
I won't need openfirmware/yaboot/etc. to see the thing at all. as my
root volume will be attached to the onboard sata.
Surely someone has looked in to this before?
Or is my best bet really to go with some sort of external enclosure?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
