Can you say "maybe it is into the FAQ" ? I know you could... ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.5: Does FreeBSD support the AHA-2742 SCSI adapter from Adaptec? No, FreeBSD does not. This is due to Adaptec's unwillingness to supply programming information under other than non-disclosure. This is unfortunate, but there's nothing we can do about it. ------------------------------------------------------------ Replace 2742 by anything from Adaptec which use the new chip. 28xx for VLB and 29xx for PCI. -- Ollivier ROBERT roberto@hsc.fr.net Hervé Schauer Consultants Ollivier.Robert@keltia.frmug.fr.net PERL / MIME / PGP 2.6ui FreeBSD keltia 1.1.5(RELEASE) RELEASE#0 i386
