    Will the Sonnet ATA-133 Tempo ATA133 PCI Card (or any other ATA133 controller) be supported by future revisions of MorphOS?

    Doubtfull as these contain an xtra controller-chip probraly not found in any supported HW.

    My QS came with a ATA133/SATA combo card but I've no hope for that...

    But than I do have a SATA-card (allready works in the Peg) which I like to combine with the Seagate-SSD-Hybrid drive I just bought (currently running via SATA/ATA-adaptor on the onboard IDE).

    Allready reduced OWB-loading time by 25%..... (still need to check change in compile-time on larger projects),

    So in short: get a SATA-controller (10 Euro or so) put something small on the internal IDE if it doesn't have PPC-BIOS (still got a 512MB CF-Card for that) and wait for 3.0....

    Thanks Kronos,
    I guess SATA and SCSI support will be enough.
    When I look at my supply of drives, most of the larger ones are SATA anyway.
