I wasnt the one who set it up under linux so i dont know what driver actually makes it work. I can find out if youd like. Maybe if i get bored someday I'll port one of them from linux to plan9. The mylex card at least works as a block device, so could concievably be made to look like a drive fairly easily. Thanks for the help/de-mystification.
