LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-8X controller

[<dick_(_at_)_uchicago_(_dot_)_edu>]

heya,

i'm interested in getting an 8-channel SATA RAID controller
that runs on the ami driver so i can use all the new neato
RAID functionality for my backup server. i haven't seen
anything in the archives about a known working controller like
i've described, but i did see the LSI MegaRAID SATA 300-8X
mentioned in a couple posts.

is anybody currently using this controller? does it run on the
ami driver and/or play nice with bioctl?

if this card is unsupported i would appreciate a suggestion
for another 8 channel SATA RAID card that is known to work
with ami and bioctl.

cheers,
jake
