I have a TMC 1680, which is a 16 bit ISA card. The card uses the Future Domain 18C30 chip. Some of these cards may use the older 18C50 chip. The bios date is 1994 (v3.4). I am aware that Future Domain (along with Trantor) was purchased by Adaptec, but they have been very little help to me. I have driver support on other Unix releases including SCO Open Server, SCO Unixware, & Linux (Slackware 3.1). This is my second request. The first was over a year ago. New releases of FreeBSD still do not show my Future Domain TMC-1680 SCSI cards in the list of compatible hardware. Picking up drivers for these cards and other legacy equipment will help expand the user base for FreeBSD. Therefore the creation of the drivers and hardware support I need should be important to the FreeBSD community. To be specific, each hardware item listed as compatible with Linux should be matched with FreeBSD. Further, the new hardware support information must be listed on the CD disc case so that buyers can find it. I guess that is a pretty big order, so let me say I can probably get by with just the TMC-1680 SCSI drivers [ha ha] :-). Any assistance or info you may provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! help Thanks; Bruce Vandiver e-mail to: 76350.1227@compuserve.com
