[Patrick Welche]

I have two SiI3124 SATALink based PCI cards, which are essentially the same
except one is older than the other. The cards are both

Found "Silicon Image SiI 3124 PCI-X SATA Ctrl" (1095:3124, BDF 02:0a.0)

the old one, which I will call 649 because of its firmware revision 6.4.09
has a

Found PMC flash chip "Pm39LV010" (128 kB, Parallel) on satasii.
This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: WRITE

The new one, which I will call 660 because of its firmware revision 6.6.0
has a

Found PMC flash chip "Pm39LV040" (512 kB, Parallel) on satasii.
This flash part has status UNTESTED for operations: PROBE READ ERASE WRITE

I just successfully read 660, compared it the file I downloaded from the
manufacturer (b6600.bin in SiI3124__6600.zip), and wrote said file to 649
successfully. (and disks plugged in can be read)

logs attached:

read.649 (reading from 649)
read.660 (reading from 660)
write    (writing to 649)

Cheers,

Patrick

Hello Patrick,

Thanks for your report!
I have marked probing and reading the Pm39LV040 and writing the
Pm39LV010 as working. I will commit that later together with other
small changes.
