I just had a look at a Dell OEM one -- my neighbor has it running a rack
full of ancient audio gear (!) -- it's an Atto.  I did not want to peel
the Atto sticker off the IC while his system was running to see who makes
the IC.  It appears there is also an Adaptec -- I'd steer away from that
one unless you want to do driver spelunking.  I wonder whose chip is on
the Atto/Dell/whoever else?
