I have some questions for you wizards, i would appreciate any help from you. 1) I am trying to figure out which hardware runs well on freebsd, but i got confused about two references: Quoting from the following url: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/3.4R/notes.html i see: "Adaptec 274X/284X/2920C/294x/2950/3940/3950 (Narrow/Wide/Twin) series EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI controllers." But in /sys/i386/conf/LINT, i got no reference showing me that my system support 3950U2W. The only reference line, points me: # The `ahc' device provides support for the Adaptec 29/3940(U)(W) # and motherboard based AIC7870/AIC7880 adapters. So, which kernel device(s)/options should i enable to use adaptec 3950U2W 2) Does any body here use 3960U2W ? Does it runs well? Which hard disks delivers 160Mb/s on U2 interface? 3) If adaptec 3950U2W is not supported by FreeBSD 3.4Stable, i am considering using 2940U2W. I would like to hear from you, what options on hard disk i have (Ones that delivers 80MB/s) and how success you have gotten using them. Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation. best regards, Gustavo Rios. -- The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
