Hello Luke,

But was talking about a SATA controller which can be attached to an
existng micro.

I know...

>  $USD 8.95 - that's a 375mhz ARM9 CPU - the AM1809.  it has SATA (1.5

It is a camera interface, mean he thing what you havein our cell-phone
I let my spy on you.  :-D

Degrade the AM1808 to a Co-Processor?  LOL!

Hehehe
