Thanks to all who replied.  You all were common in your answeres...
a driver needs to be written.  I can't be any help here -- I'm
not a programmer by any stretch of the immagination.

So, in this delima, I have another question...

If I add another IDE drive on an EIDE system (Compaq Presario 9546)
will FreeBSD find it?  Even if there is already a drive and a CDROM
(I heard that EIDE can support 4 devices).

If no, then which SCSI card seems to work best?  Not too expensive
though, but no cheapie either.
