I'm in the same boat. I've been offered either of two boxes, a HP LH or
possibly a DEC Prioris. It's likely the HP will be my boss' choice. Both
have OEM versions of the Mylex RAID controller. Needless to say FreeBSD
doesn't see the Mylex on either of these boxes, just the embedded AIC 7770 (I
think) on the HP.
Either of these machines would be a nice upgrade from my existing 486 DX33
except for the problem with the Mylex. 8-(
Is there any work in progress on the Mylex controller or should I try for
an Adaptec 3940UW?
I seem to remember Seppo Kallio doing something with RAID some time ago,
but I don't remember the details - Seppo???
