1999-06-01 Thread Stanley, Jeremy
Maybe I missed a thread on this a month ago when the press releases hit, but does anybody know if work is being done to produce Linux drivers for Adaptec's Ultra2 RAID series of controllers? The single-channel flavor is selling at a fraction the cost of other similar LVDS RAID controllers, so I
