Raid Cards Experiences -- PLEASE!

[Chris Bondelid]

I highly doubt that you can actually get a hold of that hardware.  =
Adaptec
consumed them and they don't even have that card listed on their page.  =
I
tried to buy those cards back in 99(?) and my vendor couldn't get them.

And it most likely won't work on ppc hardware as you have to set up the =
RAID
volumes via the card's BIOS.  On my ancient DPT 1 ch it actually =
required a
DOS executable to manage it.
