I wonder why they chose an unknown SATAII chip for this. The M1695 already has two SATA150 interfaces, and the only test I've seen with SATAII on this mobo used a SATA150 disk on that JMB360 interface - with poorer results than on the regular ifc. Could be due to the chip, BIOS, (xp) driver... The rest of the tests came out pretty good, and the board is well featured, so naturally I'm interested in possible libata support. -- Kind regards, Mogens Valentin
