    I am attempting to track down a FreeBSD-compatible PCI-X zero channel
    raid card for my Gigabyte SR125E machine. This sort of card does not
    appear to be very widespread, and I have only managed to track down 3
    candidates;

    Adaptec 2020ZCR
    Intel SRCZCRX
    LSI 320-0X

    The former will certainly be compatible with my hardware, the Intel
    one is probably compatible. As far as I can tell, the LSI card is only
    compatible with an LSI SCSI controller, which the computer does not
    have.

    The Adaptec card does not appear on the supported hardware list. The
    Intel card is not explictly listed but 'iir' claims that it should
    support all future Intel RAID cards. This seems a surprising claim...
    can someone verify it for me? The driver man page also claims to
    support all ICP raid controllers, but I have been unable to find any
    PCI-X cards from them.

    So. Am I doomed? Is there no driver support for this type of hardware
    at this time? Have I just not been looking hard enough? Have I missed
    something really obvious? Are there any compatible PCI-X RADIOS cards
    which can be obtained in the UK or Europe?

    Thanks in advance,

      Ruan
