the SATA ports.
Although having said that, the Usual Place says that the SATA side
works (

reason to believe the 1394 ports won't work.
Makes me think that it'd be a very good thing if someone made some
testing kits that new board buyers could load, test everything out,
including things they're not likely to use, and produce a report.
I've seen so-called benchmarking programs for Windows, but they're
generally just megs/sec bragging sort of things. Not a test that checks
that bits going through a port come out unscathed under certain
conditions, etc.
