Is there already data on these disks? Perhaps it might be compatible with
Linux's md raid stuff? If there's not data on the disks already, you could
use md to provide RAID functionality in software (at the kernel level --
not as fast as hardware raid, but not a huge performance hit either) until
hardware support for your AAA-131 becomes available.
