Search the archives.
The 1540 isn't really a SATA controller, it's got (as you state
yourself) a HPT374 PATA controller and (I believe) a Marvel
PATA<->SATA bridge, hence it's not truly a SATA controller
and I can't remember if you can hotswap with it but I somehow doubt it.
There was a document released a while back by Jeff Garzik (I believe)
that outlines all drivers and what they supported. Search for that
in the archives and you'll see.
Sometimes when people don't answer it's because they already answered it
before or it's easily finadable in the archives.
