If you need to get something this month, don't count on it. On the other hand, you can do "RAID" 0 in software. Do a "man ccd" on any fairly recent FreeBSD or NetBSD box. I use ccd on my NetBSD box at home, and it works just great. Performance won't be as good as you'd get with a DPT controller, but it works right now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
