So, the latest uptime thread reminded me that I also have a server
with a shamefully long uptime & I really need to replace it with
something a little better. I blew my savings replacing my 4-year-old
laptop in November, then went deeper into debt repairing my bike
after someone knocked it over just before xmas, so my hardware budget
consists of a jar of loose change.
Fortunately, I have the discarded carcasses of several
formerly-impressive servers to pick over and my performance needs for
this box would barely strain a P-II.
I would like RAID in the new server, & there's an Adaptec 2400A I2o
card with 4 disks in one of the server carcasses. AFAICT, this card
is still supported in spite of Adaptec's attitude. My question is
this: would it be ill-advised to use this card going forward, or is
it likely to remain supported?
Thanks,
-Kit
