1AACRAID Driver for Linux (take two)
2
3Introduction
4-------------------------
5The aacraid driver adds support for Adaptec (http://www.adaptec.com)
6RAID controllers. This is a major rewrite from the original
7Adaptec supplied driver. It has signficantly cleaned up both the code
8and the running binary size (the module is less than half the size of
9the original).

33Deanna Bonds (non-DASD support, PAE fibs and 64 bit, added new adaptec controllers
34 added new ioctls, changed scsi interface to use new error handler,
35 increased the number of fibs and outstanding commands to a container)
36
37 (fixed 64bit and 64G memory model, changed confusing naming convention
38 where fibs that go to the hardware are consistently called hw_fibs and
39 not just fibs like the name of the driver tracking structure)
40Mark Salyzyn <Mark_Salyzyn@adaptec.com> Fixed panic issues and added some new product ids for upcoming hbas.

50Also note this is very different to Brian's original driver
51so don't expect him to support it.
