   Hi Jeff, LI,

	I think I missed some of this exchange, so please bear
   with me.

	I have an Adaptec 2130SLP + battery backup that I am
   thinking about using. I was going to go with a LSI/Dell card,
   but that seems to be giving me trouble.

	So, back to the 2130SLP. I have downloaded the FreeBSD
   x64 driver from Adaptec. I also have your patch, LI. Which one
   do you recommend? (FWIW, I am running FBSD 6.2-STABLE/amd64).

	LI, do I understand that I should download your aaccli
   change? I believe you indicated that this change was not MFC'd
   from -CURRENT in time for the 6.2 release, right? So I need 
   to cvsup the ports?

	I have, I believe, an older Rev. 1 card, which I believe
   will work with the aaccli code, but it would be nice to have
   the ability to work with things moving forward.


						Thank you,
							Bruce
