Two interesting bits of news from the Haiku front. First, Haiku now has basic support for FireWire, thanks to GSOC student JiSheng Zhang. You cannot connect a FireWire hard drive just yet, though. Second, Russian BeOS hacker Troeglazov Gerasim has ported Samba 3.10 to Haiku, so you can now browse your Windows shares in Haiku, as well as share files through Samba in Haiku. IsComputerOn has the details, as well as some screenshots.

When SATA was first touted by Intel it was promised as an upgrade to PATA that wouldn't need OS changes and just work as is.
That's generally known as "compatibility/legacy mode" - where it emulates PATA.
I think the intent was to phase that out as drivers were created for various modern OSes.

I was also surprised about getting plain old R5 working on a SATA drive (took a few months fiddling though), am I the only one?. FWIW it is on a cheapo PCChips A31G socket 754 with an included 2800 Barton? for about $70 awhile back.
When SATA was first touted by Intel it was promised as an upgrade to PATA that wouldn't need OS changes and just work as is. That didn't pan out when I first tried it. Still never got W2K booting on an Intel mobo with SATA boot drive. I don't expect R5 to just work on other SATA boards, I got lucky the compatibility was okay. Another bonus was my best case transfer rate went from 5MBs to around 30MBs similar to W2K for large files, that was a real unexpected bonus.
