That sounds good, although it is possible that you have to install some windows specific driver to get that to work. In FreeBSD you're might to have to make a quirk for it (most likely the no_6_byte quirk in my experiance) unless someone else in FreeBSD land already bought one of them. Either way, I'd keep the recipt in case you can't get it to work. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755
