I'm looking to buy a new hard drive for my 486FreeBSD ISA/VESA machine. I don't want to get the IDE-SCSI debate started again, i would just like to know, can i just go out and buy any IDE or SCSI drive and expect it to work? I do know that there are problems with some SCSI controller manufacturers not wanting to realse info on their cards. I'm looking at the 500Mb range if anyone can tell me of a specific model they are using in this range. Thanks, Ron -- *********************************************************** *Ron Porter porter@chem.wisc.edu * *Univ.
