[wellylug] Serial ATA

[Lindsay Hunter]

We tried with an Asus AzN600 mbd and at Seagate SATA drive.  It required 
a SATA driver to enable the chip that manaaged the RAID installation 
where the SATA interface resides.  The board has two SATA RAID 
connectors and two conventional PATA IDE interfaces.  Enabling the RAID 
was the trick, but with XP as there does not seem to be Linux drivers. 
 I have a 40 gB partition waiting for the latter and will dual boot as 
an experiment at that point.
