DOS ain't dead - DOS and SATA drives (intel ICH7R)

DOS and SATA drives (intel ICH7R) (Announce)

Hi, I have general question to SATA drives support under DOS.
I still use PATA drives (hadn't reason for upgrade). If I switch to SATA and enable compatability mode in SETUP, will run all my OSes, DOS, and system apps like before? I mean e.g. apps dealing with HDD like Norton Ghost, PQ Magic, MHDD, various diag tools etc. Will it behave like standard IDE at IO port 170/ 1F0? And can I use it simultaneously with ICH7R IDE (for optical drives)?
Some perosonal experiences (write your compat. issuses if there are any)?

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
