Hi!

I am in the process of buying new Dell hardware, mainly the 2950 III.
According to various postings I found, the PERC6/i Controller _should_ work 
with FreeBSD 6.3. Does anyone successfully use a 2950 III with PERC6/i 
controller and can confirm this?

Sorry if the question sounds stupid, but as I cannot find any references to 
the PERC6 in either documentation or source code I am a bit confused, and I 
wanted to make sure it works before shelling out my employers money. :-)

Many thanks for any enlightenment on this subject,
kind regards,
Ferdinand
