Adaptec RAID controller features
Adaptec RAID controllers support
RAID levels 0, 1, 5, multilevel 0/1 and 0/5.
Cache memory modules with ECC and predictive caching.
PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2
with PCI clock
speeds up to 66 MHz.
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 95/98/Me,
Novell NetWare, SCO UNIX, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux,
and FreeBSD.
OS-independent configuration and RAID creation using
SMOR.
