} The SiI controllers are in a different boat than the piix. First,
} the the piix documentation are freely available, I'm not sure about the SiI.

     Documentation for the SiI controllers is freely available.  A
datasheet for controllers supported by satalink are at:
http://www.siliconimage.com/docs/SiI-DS-0102-D.pdf , and
http://www.siliconimage.com/docs/SiI-DS-0103-D.pdf .  And, datasheets
for controllers supported by siisata are at

http://www.siliconimage.com/docs/SiI-DS-0138-D.pdf , and
