: 	Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) running a
: Future Domain TMC1680 SCSI card under FreeBSD1.5.1? I saw a used one 
: reasonably cheap, and am in the market for another SCSI controller for
: FreeBSD.
: Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C. Canada

I have one and read that it does not have a driver for it in FreeBSD.  If 
this is false, I wuold like to know.  What I do is boot from a 211 meg 
IDE and have a 286 running SOSS so I can NFS mount my SCSI devices to the 
BSD machine.  It would be nice to put the Future Domain Board in the BSD 
machine directly and mount the drives out from there instead.
