   I'm curious.. I want to buy a PCI SATA controller. I found one where
the "price was right", and asked if it would work with NetBSD, and
someone replied that it would, but that there are problems with it (LBA
bugs).

   So, I continued searching. Now I have found a Maxtor SATA/150
controller, and I want to know if it's supported by NetBSD. So, I
thought I'd find out what chipset it uses, and if that chipset is
supported by NetBSD.

   First problem: Maxtors product information page doesn't even mention
what chips the board uses. Where do I go from here? Are companies
generally helpful giving you these details, or is there some huge
index-page people use to look these things up?

   Sencond problem: Where are the the drivers stored in the source tree?
If I find a chipset, and want to know if NetBSD supports it, where do I
start looking?

Thankful for any pointers.
