Really?  I thought one of the machines at Walnut Creek (the news
server, if i'm not mistaken) were running a 9 gig drive off an
AHA2940.  Maybe i'm in error, and they're using an NCR controller.
Jordan might shed some light on this.

And there was this guy with his 52 gig RAID in the -hackers list.  It
presents itself as a single big drive to the SCSI bus.  He's got a
couple of problems first, but i forgot what exactly it has been.
