I think we've tested that too at some point. There's -device sii3112 that 
I've added for sam460ex and AmigaOS but this is a common chip also found 
on some Mac compatible SATA cards. You just need the FCode ROM from one of 
those, which were available in updates to these cards. There was one from 
SeriTek and one from WiebeSATA3112 and I think at least one of those 
worked with my patches to OpenBIOS to run the ROM so it should work with 
real OpenFirmware too. Although that can be a workaround, it would still 
be interesting to know why the on board IDE does not work. Maybe it 
emulates the IDE found on the G4 but the G3 had something different? There 
were names like Keylargo and O'Hare but I don't remember what these were 
exactly.
