I'd like to add, that you mailed *me* about this and I just kindly asked
you not to personally ask me support questions, after giving you a hint
what might go wrong on _two_ occasions. Even if I follow this mailing
list, this does not make me your personal supporter. I try to help out on
this list if time permits, but I cannot give free support to anyone who
bugs me.

The Adaptecs shouldn't be a problem, as we already supply boot disks with
the latest driver on our ftp Server.

Well, I hope so.
