Putting the eSATAp on the FACE module should work the same,
since I recall it having access to 2 SATA ports on the internal
FACE connector.

For later models of the fit-PC3, could you consider making 2 USB 2.0 ports on the back a combo with eSATAp?

Hello, Since the controller manage everything SATA onboard (2.5 in SATA, mSATA, eSATA) is it able to adjust speed to individual drives? If I plug 2 SATA III 6gps drives in mSATA port and eSATA port for example, but put a SATA II 3gps 2.5 in drive in the bay will the controller downgrade all drives ...

Also posting a change log of what was changed or fixed in each BIOS release.
Thus, someone like me who was interested in the SATA-III fix could tell which
BIOS fixes which problem.

I wish that particular FACE module had dual mSATA instead of just dual mini-PCIe. (mSATA uses the same form factor as a full sized mini-PCIe but adds in the option to use the slot for a mSATA device instead of a mini-PCIe device.) That is an interesting idea that we did not consider yet. Do you hav...

I read somewhere in the fit-PC 3 documentation that the FACE PCIe ports can be used as four, 1 lane OR one, 4 lane width. So it's both, depending on the FACE module. I would guess other variations would be possible, (for example, two, 2 lane widths). Now for the connector, no, from what I read, the ...

As a professional computer support person, I also find hardware documentation quite valuable. For example the Sun System Handbook is very useful when I work as a Solaris System Administrator. This handbook included sections for processor, it's speed, and core count. Plus, annotated pictures, I/O por...

You know, if a normal timeout like 10 seconds won't work and the box is stuck, it's almost like Grub does not have a working timer. If that is the case, it might be possible to re-compile Grub to use a different timer. Even a simple software timer might be acceptable. For example, if the serial port...

It would appear that the A55E has a built in 1Gbps Ethernet port. However, all the fit-PC3 documentation I could find shows that a Realtek device is in use. For example, this fit-PC3 block diagram; http://www.fit-pc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=2477 Is the AMD A55E controller hub Ethernet port un-...

It would appear that both the 2.5" SATA drive slot and the mSATA drive slot use the same SATA controller chip, thus same drivers. So it would likely be 144PB, (PetaByte = 1024 terabytes). See ATA-6: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Attachment#Interface_size_limitations Of course, the OS may limit the...
