Those are known as "EDMA" cards. I don't know that they've "stopped" anything there -- their latest EDMA chips are still widely used on boards in the shops today. And the same core appears in their embedded products (eg. the plug computers). But if I were developing new SATA chips, I'd used an industry standard interface if at all possible: AHCI.
