Hi,

Do I have any other choices of well supported SCSI RAID cards that I
can use on a IBM eServer xSeries255 that you can recommend to use with
FreeBSD 5.3-R?

Thnks in advance,
-kc.
PS: A card that has good management apps support. What is the
management app support for the Adaptec SCSI RAID 2230SLP like?
