There's one of these puppies on eBay right now, I spotted it in my wanderings, and out of curiousity I went to look it up on Google - and didn't find much at all to explain WHAT the thing actually is. I find "Hierach Storage Controller" and something about it being a "Mass storage controller" - but not much more. It's a hell of a best for being an overblown HBA... What is it really? Whats this about a hierachy? :P Thanks folks; The ever curious JP
