 Yup as I look at it today and scan over it again and
again I find wedged in there is a link for PCI.
 Which is very easy to over look and also be confusing
becouse of the link for SCSI and ATAPI where one might
expect to find their answers about a SCSI card in.

 So thanks for pointing that out. However my
observation still stands that this is very confusing
when someone takes a first look at your OS. Thus
perhaps an area for improvemnet. :)

FYI: My initial point of even looking was to find ANY
BSD OS whose latest version had any sort of
driver/program that could monitor the status of a RAID
array from any manufacturer. FreeBSD 4 does with
adaptec, but I hate to build production systems on a
version destined to be EOL'd within perhaps a year.
