What's the best supported brand and/or model of SATA/RAID controllers
which do not suck?

Thanks.

A update on the Marvell status? :-P

Anyway, is there any of the current work on Marvell available somewhere,
so that someone could possibly pick up on it?

No Marvell status change, so no need to update...

It's mainly a skeleton that I would rather not release. Someone with
docs (and you need docs) could re-create it in ten seconds.

My main point is that if its listed as "in progress", other parties that
are interrested in developing a driver would most likely think it is on
