Ok, thanks for the update - I'll keep my eyes open for one of these at 
the next computer market - I presume it is totally hardware based - I'm 
interested in seeing if I can get hardware RAID (comes on many SATA 
cards) working under OS/2. As the control program from Silicon Image is 
written in Java, it's a possibility ! If I can get one or two of these 
adapters and test using surplus PATA drives all the better.

Cheers/2

Ed.
