Dont't quote me on that, but if it is the case, the aic-7xxx doesn't support it. I think I saw Robert Brown explain in another post that sequencer code is uploaded to the card at boot up. In my trying to get the ARO-1130 Raidport to work, I was told that this would kill any arrays. For this reason, the driver refuses to work with the ARO-1130. As far as i can recall, the chip on the ARO-1130 is the aic-7810 or the aic-7815. BTW, the aic-7810 will be used in conjunction with an aic-7880, so both chips should appear on the raid controller. I was very interested to hear the IBM announcement that they would support Linux on these boxes for this reason.
