        Speaking of RAID controllers, in response to a question about which RAID
controllers support Level 4 (Striping with a single parity drive), I
received the following:

All,

Mylex XtremeRAID 1100 (DAC1100A), based on the StrongARM SA110 275 MHz
RISC

processor (a close cousin of both ARM and Alpha), with up to 3
channels,

128 MB of ECC protected SDRAM and Mylexes latest inhouse SCSI ASIC
designs

for U2 SCSI. Supports 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 (RAID 10) and 7 (JBOD). One
issue:

While it is supported by Intel and Alpha under Windows NT and Linux (VA

Research distrubutes a Red Hat MILO and kernel with support), the board
is

a 64 bit, 33 MHz PCI 2.2 card with all that may indicate to you. Older

boards need not apply (PCI 2.2 is backward compatible, but there are
some

issues with the old Alcor/Alcor II chipset and the implementation of

ARCSBIOS on the Deskstation/Samsung 164UX boards.

Good luck.
