I'm not sure, of course, whether the internal IDE of this chip >behaves like a 961/2/3, though. > > The SiS chipset line can be quite confusing : - the 730 was roughly a 735 with integrated video, - the 740 is a pure northbridge with integrated video whereas the 745 docs mention MuTIOL (usually a hint for separated north/south bridges) but the southbridge is still integrated and seems to be ATA100 like the 735. I hope there isn't any 745 revision with different capabilities I'm not yet aware of... I'll post a one liner this evening or a full patch if Alan and/or Linus didn't already patch their tree.
