no news from my side, i have plugged in a sata card
and am using this. it worked very well--
(though actually there is another problem and it doesnt boot
at all, have not time to investigate)
dasepsilon
short notice: i just unplugged the stupid satacard and used
'pure' AHCI-- and plugged my sata-dvd as IDE (i can do this
with my board). with Zeph's 10.5.1 (!!!!!-- see osx.kbot.de)
it was able to _boot_ (though only if i didnt specify -legacy or
cpus=1?!) and _install_ on the AHCI SATA-hdd. it took quite
long but worked flawless. reboot, and it detect harddisk and
normally boots up <30s. stupid thing (and maybe thats what
kept me figuring it out back then): grub doesnt work anymore.
so, it _is_ possible to use sb700 as long as it goes with AHCI
and using the incredible zeph's 10.5.1!....
now i've got to do some installing..

What's the AHCI situation like for the SB700? I have a raid mirror setup right now via the chipset so that it works for both my Linux and Windows partitions. Really would like to keep it that way for OS X too
