As i wrote this, i meant the U2W protocol and driver related stuff, not
the physical parts.
But to be honest, i did only know that U2W AIC (sometimes related with
SMP-Kernel) makes problems. I didn't know if this meant the drivers or
the
connectors. There is now cooperation between driver developers and
Adaptec
and it might give us a complete new driver in the future (i saw a few
notes about that). Lets see :)

P.S.: partial support... why not :) SCSI is modular and hierarchic
