Thanks for the info...  "screen-scraper"??  Does this basically mean I'm
SOL if I want to twiddle with the Raid card remotely?  If so, then I guess
it's back to the PC Weasel...

I also had a hard time finding any mention of the serial BIOS feature in
Tyan's docs.  I wonder how many other mobo makers have this feature and
don't mention it...

Thanks,
