Replacement is an AHA29160, which from the model number looks like a straight Ultra160 replacement. Some details exist at http://www.adaptec.com/products/guide/ultra160scsi.html And at http://www.adaptec.com/products/overview/ultra160scsi.html#29160 However, nowhere can I find technical details on the chipset used, so I have no idea if FreeBSD will like it. Has to be STABLE version of FreeBSD too. Can anyone comment on the likelihood of it working? > --Damon > > On Fri, 7 Jul 2000, Lloyd Rennie wrote: > > > We have just been informed that the card we dearly love to use, the > > Mylex/Buslogic BT-958 UW Controller, has been dropped. > > > > Can anyone reccommend a suitable replacement properly compatible with > > FreeBSD?
