I have no idea what the AAA-131-SA even is, from a programmers standpoint. I don't think we support it. I'm running with a DPT controller, and am fairly happy with it (due to this being a really old board, they don't have and won't produce a workaround for a bug in my BIOS, but apart from that I've had absolutely no problems). I also believe these are faster than the Adaptecs. The FreeBSD driver is stable and actively maintained (to the degree it need maintenance - this hasn't really been that much). Eivind.
