That said: As I recall, FreeBSD-2.1R has items in the LINT file that talk about a Future Domain 950 chipset. This chipset is used in the TMS-850 host adaptors and I've been hoping to build a second FreeBSD system using those to work with NFS and other such things. Are we to underatand that Only those FD Host Adaptors that are WD "compatable" will work? I _gather_ that the 850's are not in that FD supplied driver disks to build new N1 disks for SCO Xenix 2.2.3 and 2.3.2. At least the later (2.3.2) claimed that it had support for the WD hosts in it's install docs.
