Hello all,

I am installing an old 1740 EISA controller in my system and I have a few
questions.

 1. I am running FreeBSD 1.0, will I have to re-compile the kernel or 
    re-install FreeBSD. The reason I ask is because my pc hangs now
    while trying to boot FreeBSD.

 2. After installing the 1740, I ran some benchmark programs, ie checkit
    and sysinfo. The transfer rate is the same as it was with my 1542, 
    regardless of whether the 1740 is in enhanced or standard mode.

Any help would be appreciated. Please e-mail me at gokings@netcom.com

Thanks,
Russell Marrash
