Shouldn't someone try to get some from them? Or has it already been tried? I tried sending email to an address I found in the existing pdc* driver, but it bounces.

Can't they be made to release the source code to The problem is they want an entire list of every piece of intellectual property I have or own. This is a means to claim anything else I do is derived off their IP and they own it. This will not happen. Some other poor bastard can sign their NDA's to write their drivers. > the driver they provide for intel machines? Right, I count the number of fingers I have before and after I shake hands with the folks in their camp. If I get an extra, I feel sorry for the poor bastard who was there before me. I still have 4 fingers and 1 thumb on each hand, and I plan to keep it that way. > > Use Silicon Image products. > > I can't get them. Hogwash, they dominate the market space and are on all the Intel Mainboards that are 845e and above.

Btw. I've looked and the "HighPoint RocketRAID 1540" (4 Channel Serial-ATA) looks "nice". Is/Should this controller be supported by the "siimage"-driver?
