Hi!
I Have been asking myself if it is possible to extend a DS (1522+/1821+/whatever in that range) with a pcie sata extension chip like asm1166 (probably the more fitting one) or jmb585. Because if yes, you could theoretically just put one of these into the pci slot and then route the sata into a drive-case.
Can anybody having a DS with pcie maybe test it?
It would be just to good to be true… and why has pretty much noone talked about this before? Because with the asm1166 you could theoretically extend a ds1621+ with 36 drives or even up to 108 DRIVES if you really wanna go bonk and own a soldering iron…
Hope i have written that correctly…
