On the JMicron site is this:

"JMB363 is a single chip, one-lane PCI Express to two-port Serial ATA  
II and one-port PATA Host Controller. The JMB363 is designed to provide  
two-port SATA II and one-port PATA connectivity. The JMB363 supports  
both AHCI and Legacy IDE controller to increase system feasibility,  
including Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Hot Plugging, ATAPI Device  
Supporting, Port Multiplier with Command-based Switching Supporting,  
Programmable Output Swing Control to fit SATA II Gen1m and Gen2m  
(External SATA Connection, eSATA). It features PCI Express bus and  
Serial ATA II interface to express high performance storage devices."

Note the bit about it supporting ATAPI.

I don't know what the hell Asus are on about!
