I can't find any publicly available linux driver source or
technical documentation for the TX4302, so I cannot say if
it will work as-is, or what the differences to the standard
SATA300 TX4 might be.

is Promise TX4302 supported?

2007-06-26 Thread Jan Kundrát
Hi folks,
I'm considering buying a four-channel SATA PCI controller marked as
Promise TX-4302 (two internal SATA links, two eSATA, independent on each
other). According to the product page at Promise [1], Linux is missing
from the list of supported operating systems, although Google suggests
that online stores include Linux in the list of supported OSes.

I wasn't able to find this chip mentioned at the list of supported
chipsets [2]. There's a similarly looking TX-4, but I don't like the
idea of buying a nice room decoration instead of a working device.

I wasn't able to find out any reference to AHCI in the specs, either.

I would appreciate if you CC me on your replies as I'm not subscribed to
this list, but if it's considered impolite here, I can surely subscribe :).
