The RAIDframe driver performs pretty well but unfortunately has
some problems on recent -STABLEs. I had it running on two systems
for evalution purposes for quite some time but I ran into some
serious RAIDframe-related panics on 4.5-STABLE and went for vinum.
Thats a shame because I like the concept, it is fairly well docu-
mented and the configuration is pretty straightforward.

AFAIK Scott Long works at Adaptec and he don't have much time to
work on the RAIDframe port.
