There are several drivers available for several controllers, as well as a series of methods for dealing with other controllers. For example, a driver to make the ST-01 card has been found to work with 386bsd, if I understand correctly. I have an Ulstrstor24F card running in my system (in ISA mode), and many other people have many strange cards running in theirs. >My TV??? What TV??

It presumes that everyone that is going to read your post will respond. My preference is something along the lines of 'Thanks for your time', or 'Thanks for reading this' . Just a random thought. If you have an Ultrastor 24F and want it to work with 386bsd, please E-Mail me and I will be glad to let you know precisely what you need to do to get your system working.
