I am keen enough to try and get some hardware documentation, and maybe
even have a go at codeing a/some drivers for plan9.

I only use hardware which plan9 is compatible with so I don't know
which way to look. At IWP9 modern, inexpensive SATA cards where
mentioned as somwhere we had a gap in our coverage.

Is this all we need? Can anyone suggest a card that fits the bill?

how about modern laptops, we have a ⅞ finished centrino driver which
needs to be finished off, but what graphics chipset is common enough
to make it worthwhile chasing the manufacturer, is nvidia still king?
Do they have weird interrupt controllers, southbridges etc which will
cause problems?

As usual I promise nothing but I will do what I can.

-Steve
