I'm pretty much a linux noobie and used the source from Areca to build a driver for 9.3 Pro x86_64. Their support was very helpful which was just as well as I didn't have a clue. I've got 5 workstations here all with Tyan K8WE + Areca PCIe RAID and BBUs running stably for a few weeks. They all boot off RAID5. Only thing I've noticed is that the BIOS RaidSet name gets corrupted at least in the boot up POST on all machines. Doesn't seem to affect the operation. HTH, Matt matthurd@acm.org
