      Version 09.00.A5.09   -    6/30/2005
      This is a re-release of the RDAC driver version 09.00.A5.09 to provide 
      support for the following items.
      
      1. Red Hat 3 update 5 kernel for LoP servers environment. 
      2. The DS4800 storage subsystems with controller firmware 
         version 06.15.11.xx. With this version of firmware, the DS4800 
         controllers utilize all of the available data cache memory 
         installed in each controller blade for I/O caching. Previously 
         with controller firmware version 06.14.xx.xx, the DS4800 
         controllers used only the first 1G bytes of the installed data 
         cache memory per controller for I/O caching.
