My apologies to Brian and the rest of the list. I was way off base while discussing U2W and LVD. I had confussed the knowledge I had about U3W and thought that LVD only applied to 160MB/s. Chris This crow doesn't taste very good.

I was wondering if anyone here knew the status on the drivers for the Mylex ExtremeRaid 2000 card. Are they in beta yet? In the next 1-2 months I'm going to need a new raid card and could really use the 2000 over the 1100. (need the additional scsi channel). Steve

Ok, normally I'd not bother with this kind of message, but Brian (Haymore) has been both nice and helpful in my experience, so I'm going to do a little sticking up for him since he's being uselessly railed on :) Note that I specifically hate flaming that doesn't get taken off-list, but as I corre
