According to Cola-Coder, a yellowTAB employee, the first stable SATA driver for ZETA has been implemented. Currently, the driver supports VIA VT6420/6421 chipsets, which will most likely be followed with support for nVidia (nForce) chipsets.

"feedback from VIA how to get the RAID functionality to work"
These controllers need a software RAID implementation. You can crib the VIA disk layout instructions from either the Linux or Windows "fakeRAID" implementations, then feed those into the layout parameters of your software RAID code, maybe ten minutes work plus testing.
That is if you already /have/ software RAID in the operating system.

It seems my original "Cola-Coder" comment has been modded down. (How unexpected!...) While slightly off-topic, this -is- relevant today, as everyone expects you to trust their software, and a few bad ones abuse that trust.
I find it hard to believe that so many people choose to trust the faceless, nameless, lone gun men among us. If neither a commercial entity nor a clearly identifiable open-source project or single developer takes responsibility for a piece of software (closed or open) there can be no trust, and with todays operating systems, no use of that software.
If Cola-Coder is indeed Ithamar, I'm happy for you guys. I met him at a BeGeistert some years back and he seemed like an OK person.
