Until now I was working under DOS, where the buggy chip is not doing much harm (no multitasking), but I would like to install FreeBSD, and it will do some harm there, I think. I read about a way for Linux (turning off multiblock requests?), that turned the flaws off. It was some line in a startup file (please look away from my ignorance). Is there a similar way for FreeBSD? I hope I am not touching a FAQ (It must have been one when the flaws where detected), but if so, I apologize. Please direct me to any place to get any information about it. Many thanks in advance, Axel Thimm. === Axel Thimm <axl@zedat.fu-berlin.de> Freie Universitaet Berlin ===
