I had three in hand last week. They do exist. Mine weren't labelled
"Dell", but were OEM boards. Also included a manual that had (2940UW
DUAL) on the cover. Adaptec is aware of the boards, just a little curious
about where the general public gets them...
Since we don't run 3.0, we had to return them.
