I wish I knew!  I have a 694D and a K7TPro2AR and BOTH have the "lite" RAID
Controller.  I would LOVE to get this thing or my ASUS A7V-133 RAID to work
with RH 7.2 in RAID 1.

I have used the software hack on the A7V-133 to make it go from "lite"(RAID
0 only) to full FastTrak 100 capabilities.(Freeware software hack..email for
the link).  I could always flash it back cause it is itching to become an
email server....and do away with 2000 Server!

I am hoping that some Kind soul will share the "key to the kingdom" with
us!! Hint Hint

Thanks,

WJ
