Hi,i'm wondering on replacing my old hd's. Looking at some sata drives. Does these work on the a1? If so which hd controllers do work?

SATA-Cards based on the sii3112, sii3114 and sii3512 chips should work.

Have a look at the OS4 docs
- sii3112ide_dev.doc
- sii3114ide_dev.doc
- sii3512ide_dev.doc
for more infos.

I'm using a 3512 based card here but beware, there are limitations atm...

you CAN NOT boot from a 3512 ( or 3114 card iirc ).
The last digit tells you how many ports you get... so if you need loads of small drives (better for backing up) get a 3114.

SATA is best used in addition to ide not as a replacement.

Personally I can not boot properly or use the system reliably with a sata dvdrw connected. I've tried samsung and nec models, people have been informed and things are hopefully being looked at.

For what it's worth my A1XE has a Lite-On DVDRW drive that works just fine. I actually have an identical drive in my OS4 A4000 too,
works very well!

Is that sata, or ide?

That's SATA. They're identical drives... ?16 on eBay job, but so far all my Lite-On drives have been very good.

It's connected to the A4000's internal IDE via a ?0.99 IDE->SATA converter, but I'm going to attach it to the Deneb soon, for a bit more speed.

4.7GB packet-writing removable storage is nice - and just worked first time under OS4 on both machines.
