How stable is the driver for >the PCI Buslogic adapters? bt0 <Buslogic 946 SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int b irq 9 on pci0:14 bt0: Bt946C/ 0-(32bit) bus In a pci P90 that does mail, news, NFS, shell logins, etc, etc, onto Seagate SCSI 2 disks, Toshiba SCSI 1 cdrom and an Exabyte. Not normally massively loaded, but I hammer it occasionally. Backups to SCSI tape are fine ... I'm really happy with it. Not had any problems through FreeBSD 2.1.5, 2.1.7 or 2.2.1. If you can get them cheap, fancy getting me another one ? (joke :) One pointer - it will work with the default kernel, but as soon as you have a system up, change the bt0 kernel config line to pci rather than isa.
