This would be aac and aaccli?



I doubt I could find an ICP adapter around here (Italy): I didn't ever 
hear about this vendor before.
Perhaps it would be easier with Adaptec; any experience with these?

I'm planing an internal hot-swap box, so I guess I'll need a RAID 
adapter. However, I don't even see any host-adapter listed in the 
hardware notes (otherwise I could use gmirror as a last resort).

I've put them back in cc:
