I'm a bit curious about this item, and since the
page counter is already
pushing 150 (bid still $17, those last 10 minutes I bet will be exciting).
Apple Network Server PCI RAID card.

Squeezing info out of apple is such a pain, anybody know about this card,
what it does etc.?
I guess since I'm the de facto Network Server guru ... :-)
The RAID card only works with the Apple-branded AIX for the ANS, making it
effectively worthless for other PCI PowerMacs and the vast majority of other
Network Servers which now probably run LinuxPPC. It's a hardware RAID
device and supposedly it's blindingly fast. I just don't have enough SCSI
interconnect boards or drives in mine to make it worthwhile at the moment.
