I've got a couple of these here as well, 300 TX4/PDC40718.  One is in a
NetBSD 3.1 i386 box and is my main server, and the other wanders around
between -current MIPS, ARM and PowerPC systems.

The manual that comes with the SATA 300 TX4 is for four controllers:

	SATA 150 TX2plus
	SATA 150 TX4
	SATA 300 TX2plus
	SATA 300 TX4

Just a guess, but maybe the 20xxx parts are the 150's and the 40xxx
parts are the 300's?  The manual doesn't mention the 20xxx and 40xxx
part numbers at all.

Cheers,
Simon.
