CentOS - Mar 2005 - Centos + SATA Atapi CD/DVD

Does anyone know of any chipsets that are supported by the current
kernels that will do SATA Atapi or of a chipset that doesn''t need SATA
Atapi in order for it to work?

SATA CD/DVD?  I''ve yet to see one in the wild.  What device are you
talking about?

I could find others, but you get the idea.  I have the PX-712SA.

In order to get it to work, you have to recompile the kernel, I was
wondering if there was a chipset that has some sort of SATA/Parallel
bridge, or has a better supported driver than my Silicon Image 3112.
