If my experiences with Mylex are any example, you might as well pound sand. They are one of the most cretinous outfits that I've ever dealt with.
Good luck, though!
Interesting. It may surprise you to know then that I already have a copy of the interface documentation for the DAC960 boards. The product manager I met with at Mylex seemed reasonably interested in seeing a Linux driver happen, but it did take him several weeks to get me a copy of the technical info. What I haven't had time to do yet is fully assess whether I want to work on a Linux driver or not. Now that 2.0 is out, I hope to have some more time to investigate this question. With RAID products like this, the software one uses to control the board is also very important, since we lose a lot of the benefits if we cannot handle configuration from within Linux as well.
