To add a little more detail, Adaptec has decided that they do not want this
product to work under Linux. The AAA-13X series cards perform ALL raid in
SOFTWARE, using custom drivers that Adaptec has written. I was under the
impression that this card would not even be recognized as a standard SCSI
card, so seeing the drives at all is almost a miracle. I've used cards by
DPT (SmartRAID V), and AMI (HP OEM'ed). I prefer the DPT cards, but I
haven't used the AMI cards under Linux.

P.S. It's not a "windows-only" product, it is also supported under Novell
Netware 4 and 5.
