Thanks for your advice.
I start the battle with Adaptec, I thought about it for some time..
The problem with Adaptec is about getting support. I cannot get in contact
with that damm company without paying up front....YES that's right I mean I
am not entitled to anything ragarding support at all ..even an e-mail to
Adaptec will cost me..it is not easy to be a end-user at the moment....
Thanks anyway, I will post some lines in this forum about my case
Best regards, Thomas
