  Hmmm.  We recently started running a host with an Intel ICH SATA
chipset at work, using the onboard "fake RAID" Intel provides.  ('doze
box, unfortunately, or I'd use Linux software RAID.)  I noticed that
the RAID BIOS was copyright JMicron.  I wonder where that leaves me.
(Asides from screwed because we're running 'doze.)

  It's a Dell Precision T3400, if anyone cares.  I did simulate a disk
failure by yanking a SATA cable during OS operation.  It froze for a
few seconds but then continued right along.  Auto-remirrored properly
on re-insert.
