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 =E2=85=9E finished centrino driver wh= ich 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
