There are Supermicro boards with Intel/Marvell SATA controllers that have Adaptec HostRAID bioses, drivers for linux (binary only) are available in ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SATA/ There are no mention of these divers on Adaptecs site, from the included readmes they seem to be called AAR As we sell Supermicro, I have different boards to test with if needed. /Martin -- Martin Nilsson, CTO & Founder, Mullet Scandinavia AB, Malmö, SWEDEN E-mail: martin@mullet.se, Phone: +46-(0)708-606170, Web: www.mullet.se Our business is well engineered servers optimised for FreeBSD & Linux
