been finding online scattered and vague info stating that this card
can be made to work with a sparc solaris 10 box (http://old.nabble.com/eSATA-or-firewire-in-Solaris-Sparc-system-td27150246.html
is the only link I can offer right now). Can anyone confirm or deny
that?
3112/3114 was a very early (possibly the first?) SATA chipset, I
think aimed for use before SATA drivers had been developed. I would
suggest looking for something more modern.
Not only that, the 3112 would do non-sector-aligned FIS transfers for
writes > 15 sectors, which caused all sorts of trouble for the
firmware developers at the disk companies, resulting in numerous
reports of compatibility and performance problems with 3112/3114
hardware.
I +1 the suggestion to find something more modern if at all possible.
