Even documentation to allow others to implement it would be useful, although there may be some kind of IP issues that prevent public release of the specs, as I assume has prevented this with the nForce4 ADMA controllers. I'm not sure what the story is with MCP51 either.. apparently the Windows driver NCQ support for that chipset was late in coming but I think it does have it now too.. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from hancockr@nospamshaw.ca Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/
