According to the promise feature list it should support :
SATA300™ TX4 Highlights
* Native Command Queuing (NCQ) * SATA Tagged Command Queuing (TCQ) * Large LBA support for drives above 137GB * Supports Serial ATAPI devices * Disk Activity LED Headers * Flexible future-proof upgrade for users with motherboards that only have a PCI interface
My question is also are these features (NCQ/TCQ) and the heigher datarate be supported by this modification? or is only the basic feature set of sata 150 TX4 supported?
Here is the patch:

Thanks Otto
