[Arm-netbook] SATA and IDE memory-addressable ICs

[Baybal Ni]

Hello guys. What your are doing here is interesting, if not totally
amazing for a small team of hobbysts. I want to aware people here that
SATA as like as PCI phys are quite expensive chips, with no price drop
seen in coming year. I think the better way here for you is to drop
SATA over PCIX idea and to think about buying SATA phy or controllers
that will work over other, less expensive buses already present on
soc. I think http://www.genesyslogic.com/_en/product_01_1.php?id=18 is
what you need
