Nice... what is the status of your RAID support in FreeBSD? I
imagine you need some software to control the striping, placement of
ECC slices, etc. (does RAID-5 include all that?) I'd *love* to try

Hrm... does it come in PCI flavour? Sounds like an interesting
product that we should promote for FreeBSD. Perhaps your driver can
go in the experimental branch for others to try.
