And here is the error I emailed him. I followed the instructions from the
manual, which were slightly outdated. Like it says "twa_opt.h" instead of
"opt_twa.h" - but I did everything I could to compile this far.

I myself would love this. I'd pay $250 cash to expedite this fix. Someone
could work directly with someone at 3ware and get 9500 matured, at
least... I wonder if I tried -current if my 9500 would work better. Is it
still based off the 7xxx series driver though?

At this point I've got hardware and software can't handle it. It's sort of
discouraging, usually it's the opposite. I might pay up to $500 to get
this going. It's worth it that much to get this damn thing fixed so I can
send this box back east and get it into production =)
