Kernel driver for Adaptec S-ATA 1420SA

Dear all,

I bought the Adaptec S-ATA II-1420SA controller but I have a problem with this type.
I use the Linux Slackware 10.1 with the Linux Kernel 2.6.12-4 but I didn´t find any driver for this S-ATA controller. I don't need RAID but I need a 4x S-ATA port.

Could you please to help me?
Have you any information about this driver for Linux systems?
I can't use RH,SUSE,UN binary because these drivers are very old for my the Linux system I think I'm not sole.
I didn't have any problem with drivers for an Adaptec controller until now.

Thanks a lot

Best regards,
Jan Milsimer

Adaptec only publishes binary drivers for it's SATA RAID cards.

The rumour is that Adaptec doesn't make the SATA chips in these, but OEM's them and then adds Adaptec softraid on top, so theoretically one of the in-kernel SATA drivers might be able to attach to the OEM chip. Your best bet would be to ask Adaptec support about it.
