The SCSI ctrlr we had several years ago was big in size and money -
cannot remember the brand. The price was around 500 bucks.



RocketRAID: Had been on http://www.highpoint-tech.com/ and lately on
Promise website because of the drivers. 



The surprise was that there are sources for the Promise FastTrak S150
TX stuff. Im no Linux src geek but I read into a little. Kernel >= 2.4
is mentioned there. 



8-[ Maybe any lowlevel memb's hanging out there could please help me
out telling me, if there are serious chances that I could get it
translated for Breezy? 





:-k Other strategy could be using a smaller boot device loading OS
from, additionally loading dmraid drivers and hooking data on dmraid
device with mirror. A LiveCD with mdraid on or more better just a flash
memory Live!Stick with an editable area that holds machine specific data
that would be perfect for such a thing.



Anyone heard of anything like this?
