PC164 and the KZPAC raid controller

[Eric Millbrandt]

My PC164 used to boot off of a KZPSC controller.  Then one day the card 
went belly up.  In a panic I replaced it with a mylex dac960pd (for 
intel).  To my suprise the SRM treated it as a KZPSC and would boot off 
it.  The only tricky part is you have to configure the logical drive on 
an intel box running msdos and daccf.exe.
