In the somewhat related dept...
The SiI3124 and SiI3726 seem to be *really*
popular chipsets for low cost JBOD setups
so I'm sure any work done towards this
will be a win. The only other chip I see
a lot of is the Marvell 88SX6041 and 88SX6081.
Any others, particularly of the eight port
generic card variety or other multipliers???
I'm not sure if JMicron ever got into the 4/8 port
game.
A somewhat related diversion:

And without the fab... you'd be amazed what a
bicycle inner tube, scrap pc case lids, tin snips,
hammer, anvil, drill bit, and a pop rivet tool will yield ;-)
