Is > the Adaptec really worth the extra $$$? I have a Tyan MB that I couldn't get to recognize a Tyan SCSI card with the 875 on it. Wasn't a FreeBSD thing, one and a half other operating systems, OS/2 and Win95, couldn't see it either. It wasn't a bad card since I packed it off to Jordan and its doing fine in one of freebsd.org's boxes. ???????? I've been very happy with my 2940UW. > BTW, here's dmesg on my current drives: Looks pretty similar to mine. ahc0 <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:19 ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle ahc0: target 0 Tagged Queuing Device (ahc0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST31055W 0528" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 1010MB (2069860 512 byte sectors) ahc0: target 2 Tagged Queuing Device (ahc0:2:0): "IBM DCAS-34330W S65A" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ahc0:2:0): Direct-Access 4134MB (8467200 512 byte sectors) (ahc0:4:0): "CONNER CTT8000-S 1.17" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ahc0:4:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x45, drive empty (ahc0:6:0): "TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3801TA 0207" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahc0:6:0): CD-ROM cd present [300204 x 2048 byte records] wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0x80ff80ff on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <WDC AC31200F>, 32-bit, multi-block-16 wd0: 1222MB (2503872 sectors), 2484 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): <WDC AC31000H>, 32-bit, multi-block-16 wd1: 1033MB (2116800 sectors), 2100 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 flags 0x80ff80ff on isa wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <CD-ROM CDR_S1G/2.15>, removable, intr, iordis wcd0: 689Kb/sec, 256Kb cache, audio play, 256 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: medium type unknown, unlocked -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Finger jacko@diamond.xtalwind.net or jack@xtalwind.net http://www.xtalwind.net/~jacko/pubpgp.html #include <std_disclaimers.h> for my PGP key.
