Why shouln't raid drivers work too?
The only requirement is surely that the drivers are in the list of
installable drivers when windows gets to the point of needing them - as per
any other raid drivers.
This is certainly 1 step further than a standard slip stream cd, but should
be straight forward as the floppy image used is very consistent IE inf, cat,
sys files to merge into the OS CD at the right point with perhaps a little
text editing in the stock inf files off the cd.
A quick google for 'slipstream raid drivers' yields this:

part way down.
does it work?
