This version add ARECA new generation RAID adapters ( SATA / SAS ) into
arcmsr.
Its xfer rate more than 800MB/sec.
I need more time to test arcmsr on PowerMac G5 even SPARC machine in my

Any comments and opinion with this driver will win acceptance.

Do you have a link to download v1.20.00.13? and have you MFC'd the
changes we made back into your new code?: Here are the changes we made
to 1.20.00.02: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/arcmsr/arcmsr.c


Could I also suggest  sed 's/.$//'  to convert those pesky CR+LF
Windows files to UNIX format.

Hi,
I face to a choice - Areca ARC-1110 vs. 3ware 9550SX-4LP.
Whether soon there will be an amendment to the arc driver?

Dear BR, GReenX.,

I have this last driver on my lab for areca testing procedure.
I promised that the driver sould passed testing on Power Mac and SPARC 
machine.

But I can not install FreeBSD 6.0 on my Power Mac G5 system till now.
Its coding style not yet all change into unix style.
This code had ran more a week of my testing script.
You can use it till my final release code for FreeBSD org.

Best Regards
Erich Chen

Dear Nikolas Britton,

Thanks for your comment about UNIX format with arcmsr.
I will change its coding style at 1.20.00.13.
Generally, areca put its release driver on its ftp site 
ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw .

But this site maintained by areca support team.
And the driver always need passed their long term testing procedure but not 
last new pack.

If I modify  it and done a testing procedure by me.
I will send it to you all.

Best Regards
Erich Chen

I did some work on the arcmsr(4) driver:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=101045



Is not the driver from the Areca site just plugin compatible ?  I 
havent updated my Areca boxes in a bit, but I recall just dropping 
the source code in place of what was there and recompiling.  I was 
also told by Areca to make sure I had the latest firmware at the time 
too.  I asked the Areca people what their plans were for the driver 
on the website and they said they submitted the driver to be merged 
into the tree, but either didnt email the right people, or no one had 
time to do the merge/import.  Perhaps Scott Long knows ?

I don't know but I do know it won't compile if you just dropped it in,
