I dont think these windows users would take a look at source code or even understand it enough to get the idea. And those who do understand it do know whats going on, im sure. Perhaps they dont take linux very serious. In places, where linux is used professionally, no one would use ide raid. In places where ide raid is used, only a few people use linux. Thats what they think, i guess. And: If they would give out the source code of a good ataraid driver, how long would it take to port it to standard onboard ide-controllers? :-) Viele Grüsse, Thorsten -- Thorsten Jungblut Universität Koblenz, Fachbereich Informatik http://www.netcorner.org/
