Yes I am sure. IBM owns Mylex and FreeBSD has driver for their RAID
cards, so it's the logical replacement.. in hopes the Mylex cards
are absolutely compliant with IBM PC-server offerings. But IBM
announced plans for shutting down the Mylex division, so I'm not
sure what will be the best replacement wrt. compliance and
performance.
