(blatant disregard of FAQ which suggests newsgroups, don't LART me please)
Has anyone been able to wrestle specs out of ALI for this device? It's
starting to become somewhat popular from a number of mobo manufacturers
(like Soyo). =/ It seems to be the 4th most prevalent PCI-bus based
controller after Silicon Image, Highpoint, and Promise. =/
Even some sort of semi-functional code would be nice. (Reminds me of
my attempts to forward-port old korean package for Aralion UltimaRAID
systems. Works in later 2.4's but dies on 2.6 =( )
Was ALI good about specs for their old M15x3 series?

A lot of badly written code (or just old code that didnt know
about the PCI mapping API) does that

Reasonably so, at least when approached by a Linux vendor. I have some
ALi data sheets under NDA for example. I don't know how they view random
individual requests.
