Any of the various manufacturers using NCR^WSym^WLSI chips. Personally I'd pick up a Tekram 390U2W. Equivalent adapters are available from at least Symbios Logic and Dawicontriol. Tekram also has a dual channel adapter in the pipe, according to their CeBIT display. Symbios already ships one. Tekram mentions FreeBSD support on the box and they also offer FreeBSD drivers, although you simply want to use the sym one for their 390F and 390U2W adapters. > I just want the model name, I'll worry about finding the deal myself > (unless you have it right at hand). I'd happily point you to a store, but I suspect we're on different continents. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
