Re: [PLUG] Serial communication with dmm

I appreciate you forwarding this to me. However, I find most of what is described is above my head; also it may require Windows I do not have. I have been distracted by another issue for a while now, but that is solved, so I intend to get back to the DMM shortly. The last effort I put into it

[PLUG] SAS HBA and miniSAS cabling

Hi, Wearing my Personal Telco Project non-profit hat at the moment, we got a new server by way of a generous grant from FreeGeek, a Dell R720. Come to find out, though, Dell's installed RAID controller (H710 mini) is missing the ability to treat the drives as Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD). It is
