Yes. > Assuming that it can be handled/accessed without needing any RAID stuff, You can usually configure this in the BIOS, to make it appear as SATA device, not RAID. > Because, if we want to generally claim support, would we (have to) > end up re-implementing all the quirks/fixes for the individual devices > that are already addressed in the Linux kernel, for example?

Yes, but then I'd recommend doing it in a diskdde, rather than continuing glue work in gnumach. > Without having looked in detail, I could imagine this to be a sensibly > isolated subsystem with not too many external interfaces?
