Hi folks;

I have acquired a rackmount Intel server with a RAID card in it that appears
to be compatable with the MFI driver.

To put it mildly, this thing SMOKES!  It is SCREAMING fast.  Insane, in
fact.

Ok, enough supurlatives.  

Now the question is this - exactly what board(s) will this driver support?
Is it only the two that are listed in the hardware release notes?

LSI has a number of "MegaRaid" boards, but it does not appear that they are
all supported - or are they?

The ones that ARE listed as supported are INSANELY expensive - like $800+!
I'd love to buy one of these for a couple of my other machines, but at
that sort of price..... perhaps not.
