I've forwarded it to the engineer who does my hardware stuff. I've got an additional question for the list, and excuse me if this is an idiot question--I don't keep up to date with the PCI standard. I've asked this on the SuSE list and zero replies. I've got an Adaptec 29160 adaptor; I expected it to fit right into the motherboad of this server (an older 200MHz. 128MB board. No::: there were additional non-PCI like connectors on the end of the 29160 card. Last week I bought a new PeeCee thinking that it would certainly have a slot to fit this 29160, but nope. The card does fit, but the end connectors are not plugged in to anything. So the question is:: Is there a *new* PCI that takes these newer cards?? Any feedback, URL's whatever will be very welcome! thanks, y'all.... gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
