The raid card is a Mylex Acceleraid 200 which is a wide ultra2 LVD.
Supports raid levels 0 1 3 5 0+1 10 30 50 and JBOD

The computer is just my home machine which needs to have Win 2K and SUSE on 
it.
Win 2K is just to keep the wife happy and for some software that I use with my 
Pinnacle DC10 video cutting card.
