Er, yep!

        {165} drvctl -p atabus1
        Properties for device `atabus1':
        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
        <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
        <plist version="1.0">
        <dict>
                <key>device-driver</key>
                <string>atabus</string>
                <key>device-unit</key>
                <integer>0x1</integer>
        </dict>
        </plist>
        {166} drvctl -r atabus1
        drvctl: DRVRESCANBUS: Operation not supported by device
        {167}

Is anyone working on this?  If not, what would be involved in making 
this work?

I really don't want to run out and buy a SCSI controller, especially 
after just paying for the SATA hot-swap system.  :)
