Hi,

I actually use gdt with OpenBSD 3.6, and I rather like it. Are you
saying if I were to get a card to OpenBSD, the RAID management might get
supported? What if I said that gdt is now from Intel? Considering the
recent firmware debacle with wireless....

Either way, it's an SCRZCR, and I'm using it in two different servers.
I'm pretty sure I could get one for driver development if it means the
management portions *might* be supported. I currently just use the
little light-bulbs to tell me what's up, which isn't so great.

It is a ROMB card, so it would have to be used with something like ahd
or the like.

Oh, and the SCRZCR wasn't listed in gdt's manpage as "working," but
mine's been working for ~3 weeks.
