[note: cross posted because one of my questions is about HP computers in general] Hi, I'll be given an HP computer at my new job. The series I'll probably get is the XU, with a P5-133. It uses an internal IDE (blech) controller and an Ultra SCSI2 controller, also on the motherboard. I suspect (and hope!) it is an Adaptec similar to the 2940U (at least using the same chipset) but I'd like a confirmation before taking the XU series. Does anyone know if this SCSI adapter is supported by FreeBSD (I'll probably install a 2.2-SNAP on it) ? Last (and why it is also on hardware) has anyone success/horror stories with the latest HP series (VL4 with IDE and XU with both) ? The configuration I'm looking for is P5-133, 32 or 48 MB, 2x 1 Go SCSI2, SCSI CDROM 4x and Cirrus Logic video adapter (they offer Matroxes as well but even if they're good, I don't like their policy...) Thanks, -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #12: Sun Jun 30 14:10:07 MET DST 1996
