Hello, # >I just got the bad news from Adaptec that the documents for the AIC-7810 chip, # >which makes the raid things like XOR, will not public available till the end o # >f # >the year. :( # # That sucks, although it doesn't surprise me. I got the impression the # 7810 documents wouldn't be availible for a while when I asked for # them the last time. I occasionally have read the manuals of this new adaptec toy, and got a strong impression that it becomes RAID with the presence of software drivers (analog of 'ccd'?) only. Am I missing something? And I wonder -- did someone of the FreeBSD engineers try to talk with DPT? Their controllers are not too costly, but specs seem to be better than Adaptec's. And DPT _are_ RAIDish, AFAIK. # -- # Justin T.
