The EISA driver has been in live use for 18 months and is stable. The PCI driver is currently under test on a Prosignia-300 and should be considered an 'alpha' release - but there are no known problems. I would appreciate feedback from people wanting to try it out. I hope to press it into active service on a Proliant 800 model 6/200 in the next few weeks. Source code and example kernel configs can be found at: the Compaq whitepaper on the technology is at: The configuration of the RAID Array requires Compaq's excellent Disk Array Configuration Utility which only runs on a machine with a Compaq BIOS :-(. best regards, Mark Dawson
