NetApp Filers - Does MS support them, and do they work?

I've posed this before, but never seem to get a concrete answer:
1) Is a Network Appliance NetApp 940 Filer connected via a fiber card
running iSCSI supported by MS for SQL 2000 implementations?
2) Does anyone run a similar configuration and run into problems?
Thanks everyone
1) A snip from the KB below
Windows Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) Qualified Devices
Microsoft Windows servers and networked servers or NAS storage servers that
are Windows Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) certified automatically meet the
data write ordering and write-through guarantees required to support a SQL
Server storage device. Microsoft supports both application and
storage-related issues in these configurations.
Other Devices
If you use a non-WHQL qualified storage device with SQL Server that supports
the I/O guarantees for transactional database use described in this article,
Microsoft will provide full support for SQL Server and SQL Server-based
applications.

We use a NetApp filer and are not totally satisfied.
we are moving off to a Hitachi SAN.
