SATA works ok for me, but its not like I am running a DB server on that
box, just a TTS engine and some audio files. It would be nice though.<br>
I had some trouble getting my TE405P cards to talk, and got some helpful advise from the folks at Digium<br>
<br>
excerpt:<br>
"You may need<br>
to disable unnecessary hardware on your machine such as sound<br>
controllers, USB controllers, extra ethernet controllers, firewire,<br>
parallel ports, and/or serial ports. "<br>
<br>
and<br>
<br>
"If you are running an IDE hard drive please verify that you are using<br>
DMA mode with a UDMA setting of no lower than 2 or higher than 3. UDMA<br>
mode 2 is ATA33"<br>
-<br>
"We would suggest using an IDE harddrive rather<br>
than SCSI or SATA in order to configure your hard drive to UDMA2. <br>
Configuring a SCSI or SATA hard drive to UDMA2 is not possible. "<br>
<br>
Well there goes disk performance :-P<br>
and <br>
<br>
"Please ensure that you are not running X-Windows, frame-buffer, or<br>
serial console, as these will cause problems with our hardware."<br>
<br>
oh, and<br>
<br>
"If you are still having IRQ misses with our hardware you could try<br>
booting your kernel with "acpi=off" and/or "noapic" to disable ACPI<br>
power management andAPIC. These has been known to cause interrupt<br>
sharing problems as well."<br>
<br>
The good news is that it will probably work if you do all that stuff ;-)<br>
