I am not sure, but I thought that Megadrive's hardware is supported
[www.megadrive.com]
(correct me if I am wrong).

I did not use their RAID drives,
but I used their E-2 towers, and they seem to be working nicely
(knock-knock-knock).

PS. Dan, by a coinsidence, one of the dealers of the Megadrive's equipment
who have very reasonable prices is Frontier Vision Technologies Inc.:
