(Note: Every user of IDA controllers on FreeBSD please read :) ) Hi, I would have released this info 2 weeks ago, but my laptop with all my personal info and mails were stolen from me, and as you know, real men do do backup - until now! :) I had a talk with the Danish Compaq Storage representative, after complaining about the lack of support for configuring Smart-2 controllers in non-Compaq equipment. He told me that the reason for this is, that Compaq politics doesn´t allow for sale of Compaq RAID storage for use in non-Compaq systems. He also told me, that he was a firm believer that this would change within 6 months (according to things he heard internally), thereby solving our problem with configuring the controllers. Now as you will find on my website, older controller can be configured in non-Compaq systems (link below). Now I´ve been encouraging people to submit their systems to me, so that I can publish them on my website, and thereby show my Compaq friends that we really like their hardware :) Because of the loss of my laptop I´ve lost all mails from you guys running the hardware out there, before I had time to update the website. Please, if you run a FreeBSD system on a Compaq RAID controller, fill out the form on http://seeberg.dk/freebsd/idaraid I then promise that I will set the time off, that it takes to test 4.0 on my RAID controller, and update the website with all the new features implemented in BSD 4.0R.
