Finally I purchased  an IBM M1015, reflashed it to the latest LSI "IT" =
firmware, and I'll use the "Invader" card just to boot from the two back =
mounted disks in mirror.

Indeed, LSI2008 cards are the way to go. Unfortunately, cross-flashing =
them feels a bit kludgy although admittedly I've done even dirtier stuff =
:)

Thanks!
