Dear Nikolas Britton,
Sorry I had new arcmsr driver version 1.20.00.13 for FreeBSD i386/amd64/ppc
plateform.
This version add ARECA new generation RAID adapters ( SATA / SAS ) into
arcmsr.
Its xfer rate more than 800MB/sec.
I need more time to test arcmsr on PowerMac G5 even SPARC machine in my Lab.
Any comments and opinion with this driver will win acceptance.
Best Regards
Erich Chen

Is not the driver from the Areca site just plugin compatible ? I
havent updated my Areca boxes in a bit, but I recall just dropping
the source code in place of what was there and recompiling. I was
also told by Areca to make sure I had the latest firmware at the time
too.
I don't know but I do know it won't compile if you just dropped it in,
I had to fix a few syntax errors:
diff arcmsr.h.1200012 arcmsr.h.freebsd.new

I asked the Areca people what their plans were for the driver
on the website and they said they submitted the driver to be merged
into the tree, but either didnt email the right people, or no one had
time to do the merge/import. Perhaps Scott Long knows ?

CC'd Erich Chen, the person who made the driver.
