OpenBSD Clashes with Adaptec In Quest for Docs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the not-support-you-note-they-note dept.

TrumpetPower! writes "OpenBSD developers have been asking for documentation from Adaptec for over four months. Adaptec's response has been to deliberately misunderstand what is being asked of them. A former Adaptec employee admits that the hardware is buggy and tricky to get right. So, as a result, OpenBSD 3.7 will ship without Adaptec RAID support. Personally, I'm glad that Theo isn't resting on his laurels."

    Simple, don't buy from Adaptec until they release information about their hardware or documentation. Hit them where it hurts financially, and they'll listen. Or just spite them by reverse-engineering an existing driver? :)
