It uses the 'asr' driver. I believe a few people have been tinkering
with it, but I haven't heard any stories.
My biggest gripe with it is that I understand they pair drives master/
slave on a single cable, leaving you in a very bad position if one of
them dies. Add that to an architecture designed for the heavyweight
approach required to do SCSI, and it's just not very elegant.
