Ahh, good news, thanks :) Have you used it with a tape drive? > You may want to flash the non-raid firmware from LSI onto it. OK thanks. I just realised it doesn't have any external connectors so I'll have to find another candidate. However I do see the LSI spec sheet for it lists the chip which is listed in mpt(4) so I should be able to find something. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
