I wonder if that means that the VST card could be made to do hardware RAID if someone wrote the proper driver or utility for it. How is the hardware RAID configured on the PC? Is there an Ultra66 utility that one uses to set it up? I guess it's moot, since I'm not enough of a programmer to even start to do it, and it's not really worth the time for those who have the skill, I imagine.
