That's a pity, so it's unlikely libsas will get support for PMPs in the near future or at all? Sadly I'm not able to add the support myself. Do you know of any SAS controllers which do support SATA PMPs? I'm stuck with the PMPs, so I'm trying a SATA controller with an 88SX7042 next, although having a good SAS controller would be better in the long run. Greetings, Hajo
