Good to know... I'll post this info on my website and will have to leave
off at this point until I'm back in a few of days.

Well, it just hit me, yes the 82371 won't do SATA, but this is an SATA
pci add-in card.  From what I've seen, these are usually handled as
SCSI, but it might have just been the Config.lb file as you just posted.

grrr... wonder if I'll try to ack the patch with a couple of minutes
left.
