Subject: Can SRM boot from a SATA drive?

I have a 164lx which is currently booting from a SCSI disk, but the drive is several years old, and I'm hearing worrysome noises from it. The price/GB of SCSI drives is obscene compared to PATA/SATA. Thanks to a SRM bug, the onboard PATA controller only works in PIO mode, which is pathetic. The box has a SC-SATG11 card, but SRM will not boot from it. Is there a SATA controller that SRM will boot from?
