Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 1420SA Support (Marvell chip)

Wed Oct 12 23:36:20 PDT 2005

Adaptec have a new moderateley priced SATA-II 4-port PCI-X fakeraid 
adapter available.

Unfortunateley driver support for decent operating systems is very 
limited, only binary drivers for a few rather old linux distributions.

The chip on the adapter is called AIC-8130 and is also marked Marvell 
88SX6541-BCZ, the adaptec Linux driver is called aar81xx.

Is there someone here with contacts inside Marvell or Adaptec so that we 
can get specifications for this chip? I can donate a card and a SATA-II 
drive to any interested developer if we can obtain specifications.
