Hmm... It seems that my question didn't get any answers but lots of crap instead... I don't believe that caching controller improves performance very much over 386BSD's internal caching, but because I happen to have two caching controllers I would like to use them too! It is damn annoying to use two old ESDI clunkers with 386BSD when I could be using 1gig SCSI instead. Barf. So, back to my original question... What SCSI controllers (besides Adaptec AHA1542B) are supported by kernel without special drivers, and what special drivers are available? I know that I am very likely asking a FAQ but someone could point me to that instead of flaming be because I haven't seen any FAQs after BSDBOT left IRC for good... >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Guy Dawson - Hoskyns Group Plc. > guyd@hoskyns.co.uk Tel Hoskyns UK - 71 251 2128 > guyd@austin.ibm.com Tel IBM Austin USA - 512 838 3377 >"Knolege is powef, Speling is unimportnt" via Pete W.
