Adaptec I2O RAID Driver

The Adaptec I2O RAID driver currently supports all I2O RAID cards and the DPT SmartRAID V controller. The dpt_i2o driver also provides support for some of Adaptec’s ATA RAID controllers. Please check the driver’s documentation and the Adaptec web site for specific compatibility information. The GPL driver was originally ported to Linux version 2.0.34 and was available as a patch to the kernel. The GPL driver was ported by Karen White (Dell Computer), with help from Mark Salyzyn and Bob Pasteur.

The driver was eventually rewritten from scratch. This new version (2.0) was developed by Deanna Bonds and Mark Salyzyn. Bonds currently maintains the driver for Adaptec. During the development of kernel 2.4, the driver finally made it into the stable kernel tree (2.4.10). That means users no longer have to undergo the arduous process of patching kernels or creating custom driver disks to perform installation.
