Date: 12 Feb 1996 16:49:34 GMT Organization: Intel Corporation, Chandler AZ Lines: 25 Distribution: world Message-ID: <4fnr2u$el9@chnews.ch.intel.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: muffett.ch.intel.com Hi folks, I'm extremely interested in putting FreeBSD on my machine at home (tired of OS/2 and IBM's slacker attitude), but I wanna get it on CD-ROM. Thus--I need a CD-ROM. I've been doing research and have found a combo that'll work with my budget, but I want to make sure it'll work with FreeBSD too! Is the Adaptec 1505 16-bit SCSI-II controller card for CD-ROMs supported by FreeBSD? I noticed in the release notes on the Web that a whole host of Adaptec SCSI disk controllers are supported, but from the ads I've read, this 1505 model is just a CD-ROM controller. I plan to hook a Sony CDU-76S SCSI-II CD-ROM up to this card (I have an old ISA bus 486-33 and already have 2 IDE drives). Could someone please shed some light on this delimna?
