Motherboard features a combined mini-pcie/msata slot. Have tried 2 msata ssds and neither have been recognised. There is no mentioned in the manual of any resource sharing. I know that many of these slots are only intended for wifi cards, however the specs for this MB say under storage:

??5 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Connectors, support NCQ, AHCI and
Hot Plug
??1 x mSATA Connector (shared with Mini-PCI Express Slot),
support NCQ, AHCI and Hot Plug
* This Mini-PCI Express Slot supports WiFi and mSATA devices.

latest firmware
No other pcie cards installed
4x sata hdds (have tried booting with all unplugged but no difference)

In the BIOS, I've tried different combinations of enabling/disabling hotplug, wwan, pcie speed (gen 1-3 & auto).

Would greatly appreciate any pointers as to other things to try, or if I'm misreading the specs and msata sdds aren't supported
