Yep, they are the ones, I mean. I will give them a try when I get my
replacement controller. I also forgot to mention that we run a Win2K
server at the office, which uses a 3200S controller, and the Adpatec
Raid utility works with either 1 or more controllers. So the RH9 utility
may still work ok with only one controller.
