Without seeing an actual picture, it seems that way. The Marvell chip they're talking about is a PATA-to-SATA bridge. I would expect that it provides an actual SATA port on the device AND is has a CF card port, so that's less equipment we have to provide on the back end of things.
When I look at my A4000 now I have a FastATA4000 connected with a ribbon to a CF card adapter and then a DVD ROM and then another long cable connected to two removable hard drive bays.
This new design would certainly clean up the rat's nest I have at the moment. Give me thin SATA cables over IDE cables (even "round" ones) any day.
I wonder if AmigaKit are planning on stocking these?
