RocketRAID 640 - Ubuntu 16.04 / Kernel 4.13 Support

Anyone have any idea how to get a RocketRAID 640 working under 16.04? Seems anything official or even suggested is for much older Kernels or Ubuntu releases.
This has been a reliable and solid controller under all releases of Windows since 7 but it looks like the Linux side of things has been neglected.
I've tried to make a couple of the older releases, but of course they fail as soon as they detect any recent kernel.
Any suggestions, besides buying a new controller? Currently, this controller runs 4 6TB RED drives on my Windows 10 box (and has done so 24/7 for about two years now with no rebuilding or failure), but it's a no-go under Ubuntu.

It's a fakeraid card. Don't bother setting it up. Use Linux kernels md support. Read this about fakeraid and why not to go there.

You have to dig, but there are some updated versions of the driver source. I was running rr64xl-linux-src-v1.3.11 that ran with Ubuntu 16.04. To add Kernel 4.13 support I had to patch several files. Here are some links that might help:
- Seems to be some unofficial patched driver source
Discussion where I learned about applying the required patch to my 1.3.11 source. Perhaps the above driver source already includes these?
I don't use the RAID capabilities of this card. I simply wanted to add 4 SATA large capacity drives. I have 8TB and 4TB drives for my movies. The drives do occasionally go off line, but not to the point that I need to throw it away.

I patched the rr64x driver and it now works for me on Ubuntu 18.04.1 (jbod mode).
See https://bitbucket.org/yurac/rr64x.
Hope this helps
