Most of the standard > Adaptec cards seem to have SW that works. First, apologies, my fingers slipped - the card is a 6i. I have been unable to locate the Adapec equivalent and I've even seen that some cards have been made for them by LSI - the chipset on the mobo (xSeries 345) is from LSI. But in fact the box this card came in has both the IBM and Adaptec logos so this one is indeed from Adaptec. There is a P/N 13N2190 but I can't match it with Adaptec and think it's an IBM number. > It has CLI.

This is great - if indeed i can't get the Adaptec to work, i'll have to look into the Megaraid (LSI) card. Thank you. I'd of course greatly prefer to find something that works with the card that I own... :) d.
