That's news to me... I've had one working on a PE500SC since August 2002.

It worked out of the box for my RedHat 8.0 (ISO image download). I also got
the machine to use the internal IDE to run an extra 40G drive for /tmp (& the
CD-ROM). So I have 72x3 IDE RAID5, + 40G /tmp, which I seem to recall someone
telling me I couldn't do.
I seem to recall it worked out of the box for RedHat 7.3 (ISO also). But I
installed RH8 as soon as it came out (since the box wasn't production yet and
I had lots of time to migrate and get it all working, which was a bit of a
chore as noted in another thread).
Later,
JP
