that's true :-(

well, as you meight have guesses, i own one of these nice little compaq
servers. unfortunatly it is an eisa-only version.
the good thing is i own two compaq smart array controllers (right now, one
is in the machine) and the computer is accessible via internet.
for people willing to develop the drivers, i offer access to this machine
since i doubt there are any developters living in my town and sending the
server to the states is no option.
