There are Supermicro boards with Intel/Marvell SATA controllers that
have Adaptec HostRAID bioses, drivers for linux (binary only) are
available in ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SATA/
There are no mention of these divers on Adaptecs site, from the included
readmes they seem to be called AAR
As we sell Supermicro, I have different boards to test with if needed.
