I have told Texas Instruments already, that I fint it crap, that a  OMAP
L-138 with 300MHz has a SATA interface but  the  realy  interesting  one
OMAP 3530 not.

Reponse:  TI is working on it, and even faster µC.

I have this idea since more then 2 years du to the NDA crap.

Right.

I must search for it.

It was AFAIK in a russian electronic forum, because they where not  able
to get ANY SATA/SAS chips...  du to the NDA's.

Specs can be found here:

    1)  <http://www.serialata.org/>
        Where I have gotten most documents...

    2)  <http://www.t13.org/>
        Technical Committee (ATA & ATAPI)
