The supported hardware list is here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/hardware.html But I'll tell ya' the SiL sata chips are junk. FreeBSD will recognize and run with them, but under heavy IO will crash, corrupt data, and other unacceptable things. I think the ata driver developer gave up on the things. In any case, don't even waste time trying to assemble a system with one. -RW
