Actually, I'd like to stick up for Jordan here for a second. I had the exact
same impression that he did when Steven said that Adaptec did not have U-320
drivers. I produce this from my records:

Now, I'm not sure how you read this response from Steven but this is just as
reasonably read (if not more so) that there is no U320 support from Adaptec as
there not being support from Adaptec on their web site but that drivers exist
elsewhere. If anything, the latter is the bigger leap without verbiage saying
exactly that.

Sorry, I just wanted to clarify a bit.
