If I use a Compaq or Mylex card, I dont know if I need to pull out the hotswap buffer backplane or anything weird like that. I will save the futzing around with hardware for my generic custom built PC servers, not my new name brand toy. Thanks for the info. Now all I have to do is hunt down product specs on thier site (Thier Korean and Russian sites have had more informative data than thier USA site.) -- -Jason J.
