Sil3512 (sii, SATA) driver on Sun Ultra60/blade 1000

[R J]

Boris,
We are talking about PCI sata controllers working in a sparc64 system. 
The cards in particular,  Sil3512 and Sil3124 are PCI cards.

Alex, would remote access to a sparc64 be enough for you test on?  We 
could do some coordinations ofcourse.
