Hi there Jon

Previous correspondence from jon (17:09 4-1-2004 -0800):

>yes sir, and I apologize for my vagueness.

Thanks for the confirmation. It seems I'll give the controller a try.
I heard from one of the NetBSD developers (Manuel Bouyer, see [1])
the Promise card still is a software RAID solution, so I will
probably also test the RAIDframe functionality. We'll see how it
turns out. I'll be sure to report success.

Thanks for checking up on this,

Rogier Krieger
