Smart Controller problems

[Tomas Schonfeldt]

Hi!   I recently got my hands on a smart array pci controller and I'm wondering if I can use this in a non-compaq computer. I tried to plug it in my cumputer, but it isn't detected by the Compaq Array Config Utils... :( Neither does it show in the pci device listing. Is it broken or do I just need a compaq computer?   I really want this card to worke since I got 7x2.1 Gb drives with it :)   / Tomas
