Since I have had difficulty connecting to the Walnut Creek
home page and can't read information files, can someone
inform me of the following:

1.  What is the latest stable version of FreeBSD?

2.  What is the latest interim (SNAP?) version?

3.  Which one provides support for:

    a.  Adaptec AHA-2940UW (ultra wide, i.e., SCSI-3
        with 68-pin high density connector)

    b.  Adaptec APA-1460 SlimSCSI

    c.  Adaptec MiniSCSI

4.  Will FreeBSD work with the latest generation of
    external backup tape units (with 2-8 gigabyte capacity),
    such as:

    a.  Seagate/Conner/Archive TapeStor Travan4 drives
    b.  Seagate/Conner/Archive 4mm DAT drives
    c.  Hewlett-Packard Colorado Memory Systems Travan4 drives
        (SCSI T4000)
    d.  Hewlett-Packard SureStor 4mm DAT drives

Thank you for your courtesy.
