I am aware of all this.  This knowledge base article I reference (here 
it is again:  http://www.3ware.com/KB/article.aspx?id=14546   has the 
source and instructions for the new driver.  All that is needed is for 
someone to compile it!!!  I cannot compile this for 64 bit since I don't 
have a working machine with EM64T until after I have a compiled driver.

Is there anyone out there with an EM64T box that can download the source 
and instructions and compile the driver??

thanks, Jon
