Hi,

Does anybody know:

1) Is the smc8013 exactly the same as the wd8013?

2) I tried to get FreeBSD2.1 to recognize the card with 0x280 irq10.
no luck.  Why not?  I used boot: -c to set up  the parameters.
The card works just fine at irq5. I am trying irq10 because I know
Mach4.0 probes a wd8013 successfully at irq10.  I am trying to run
Mach on top of FreeBSD2.1

Thanks in advance

Ron
