Search the archives. And for the archives, buy AMI RAID controllers. I think you will have the best chance of having a fully supported controller with ami. Watch CVS commits dealing with bioctl. Adaptec does not seem inclined to give the developers documentation. 3Ware flat out told me they have no intention of supporting OpenBSD nor sharing documentation with the developers. I will be replacing Adaptec controllers with AMI at my earliest convenience. Jim
