Help this newbie I beg of you.  (And please excuse me using Lookout!).
I'm in the process of installing FreeBSD4.4 and have run into a huge
problem.  I'm in desperate need of a driver for an AHA-3985W RAID
controller.  My questions are this - Is one available anywhere?  If I
configure Linux emulation, can I use a Linux driver for this card?  (I
realize this may be a ridiculous question, but I'm trying to cover
any/all possibilities).  Last question;   If the answers are NO! for the
previous questions, Is there anyone that would be benevolent enough to
write one so I can get away from Microshaft?  /Scott
