SATA support is still evolving on eCS. I am surprised that no one thought
to recommend that you update the distruibuted IDE driver use BOOT_UPDATE
diskettes.

See above. Give Dani's latest v1.71 a try.

Why don't you wait for it to fail. It may work with the older Innotek
SBLive driver or the newer Netlabs UNIAUD driver.

The eCS installer will tell you what it is during the hardware detection
scan.
