Adaptec does not have any hardware RAID cards (at least none that are called
adaptec cards). The AAA133 (and the rest of the AAA series) are SCSI cards
that come with RAID software drivers for NT and Netware, maybe for a few
other OSs, not for Linux. RAID features are not supported on Linux, and I'm
somewhat surprised that you even got it to be recognized as a SCSI
controller. Adaptec has said that they don't want this card to be supported
under Linux, and have refused to release the information needed to make good
drivers for it. Anyway, if you want to use this card, get NT or Netware.
If you want a hardware RAID card, look elsewhere. Perhaps Mylex or DPT.
