Hi,
I have Addonics.com port multiplier which has SiI3726 chip. I'm pretty
sure it has LED outputs that are software controllable, to use with RAID
enclosures for Identifying drives (that have failed for example).
I wonder if anyone has chipset docs that can be used to write Linux
drivers for this function? A brief email to Silicon Images a while back
wasn't very helpful, IIRC.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Yeah, the chip has built-in enclosure controller and libata doesn't have
support for it yet. One of the reasons being I can't find any hardware
which uses that feature here. :-(

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here is a SiI3726 card
which has drive LED headers - about $85
