could you send me the output of pci from
your plan 9 machine?  it would also be helpful
if you could copy down the output of the e820 scan
and send that along.  sata (ahci) should be supported
on your machine, i believe.

on a laptop, i don't think one would notice a difference in 
transfer rate.  the main advantages of sata are support for more
than 4 devices and support for more than 2 devices on non-shared
links and support for hot plugging.  it is also easier to mix
pata & sata drives if the sata drives are treated as sata drives.
