This is wrong these days. Free/Net/OpenBSD come with a SCSI system that doesn't artificially limit the number of devices, but configure them based on their claimed SCSI type as they are found. This is not true for all SCSI type drivers, but for disks, tapes, CD-ROMs and ODs. Only ``weird'' devices like CD-R's and Scanners must be configured explicitly. You could hardly claim BSD/OS to be ``almost any BSD''... -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
