Hi!

Well, just had these days a stock 1750 to play with for one day, and
FreeBSD 4.9-pre installed without hassle, the RAID was recognized fine.
(After it, it went to our linux guys for final deployment...)

Yes, the 4/Di is onboard on the 1U machine.

Don't know about management utils, for the 3/Di there should have been
some adaptec stuff around...
