+AACRAID Driver for Linux (take two)
+
+Introduction
+-------------------------
+The aacraid driver adds support for Adaptec (http://www.adaptec.com)
+OEM based RAID controllers. This is a major rewrite from the original 
+Adaptec supplied driver. It has signficantly cleaned up both the code
+and the running binary size (the module is less than half the size of
+the original).
+
+This driver is experimental.
+
+Supported Cards/Chipsets
+-------------------------
+	Dell Computer Corporation PERC 2 Quad Channel
+	Dell Computer Corporation PERC 2/Si
+	Dell Computer Corporation PERC 3/Si
+	Dell Computer Corporation PERC 3/Di
+	HP NetRAID-4M
+
+Probably Supported Devices
+-------------------------
+	Any and All Adaptec branded AAC964/5400 series raid controllers.

+so don't expect him to support it.
