At last consensus there was no knowledge of existing Linux drivers for
the AAA controller series and associated boards. To quote from the

I presume this is still the case, but someone correct me if you've heard
otherwise in the interim. At present, Adaptec still only lists support
for WinNT and OS/2, and they haven't released the specs so there's not
likely any outside work being done on it. Given the price difference
between the AAA series and comparable cards from ICP, DPT, Mylex and
other supported manufacturers, I suspect that these resources will not
be unavailable to the Linux market indefinitely.
