	Mike, if you have the time, could you ellaborate on that "what you
	are doing" and how it matches up with the drivers in FreeBSD.  I
	think many people would be happy [well, at least me] if you made a
	quick bulletted list.  For example:

	- If you want good driver support, the 3ware card is a good choice
	- If you want excellent speed, the Mylex card is a smart choice
	- etc,etc

	Or maybe just a couple quick notes, so someone could get this
	into a doc format somehow.  I know you must be a busy man
	so simple "F$%* Off, do it yourself!" would be understandable.

	Or does this information already exist in some document?
