Stable SATA pci card for FreeBSD 6.x/7.0

[Sebastiaan van Erk]

Hi everybody,

Thanks for all the help I got trying to figure this one out. I bought 
the Promise SATA300 TX4 PCI controller and everything is working 
smoothly now.

This means I now have the other controller left over:

[pciconf -lv output]
atapci0 at pci0:10:0:      class=0x018000 card=0x35121095 chip=0x35121095
rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Silicon Image Inc (Was: CMD Technology Inc)'
     device     = 'Sil 3512 SATALink/SATARaid Controller'
     class      = mass storage

I would like to donate it to FreeBSD developers working on the drivers 
for these cards if they want/need it (where do I need to send it)... 
Otherwise I'll just sell it on our local version of ebay.

Regards and thanks again,
Sebastiaan
