    Just a FYI for those of you who might find this information useful.

    I have an IBM RS/6000 Model 43P-140.

    I pulled an IBM ServeRAID Card (not the II or 3L or other types) from a
    working Intel PC Server (actually, an IBM PC Server 704) and put it
    into the '140.

    I installed AIX 4.3.3 (.0) onto the box.

    The card **WAS** recognised and AIX reports it as an 'IBM PCI SCSI
    Raid' card in the smit menus.

    Given the cheap prices of these older raid cards on eBay, I thought
    that some may find this information useful.

    Pitty the 140 can't fit too many disks in it though.

    -Chris
