I have contacted someone from adaptec and although he seems to sympathize
with our situation, his superiors do not.  They feel that people who would
buy they 274x series card to use with one of the free Unix OS's are
insignificant and would not make any difference in their bottom line.
They need to see that they are losing significant money before they will
listen to the cause.
