Just settle down a bit.

If you rewind to last October, RAIDFrame worked well.  Unfortunately,
some kernel interfaces changed in between now and then and RAIDFrame was
left behind.  I am remis in not fixing it, but please understand that I
also have quite a few other responsibilities, and I get paid $0 to work
on RAIDframe.

As for hardware raid, what cards have you tried, and what problems have
you experienced?  You last message was jsut a shot in the dark that few
of us would be able to help with.
