In response to a post sometime ago about Symbios Logic SCSI cards someone advised that Diamond cards are Symbos based. As suppliers of Symbios cards to end-users here in the UK seem to be non-existent the Diamond card would appear to be a good alternative. However, I am _very_ reluctant to use any Diamond product under FreeBSD as the Stealth graphics card I had when I first started using FreeBSD could not be made to work at anything other than standard VGA. Diamond, it seems, will only release programming info under a non-disclosure agreement, so source couldn't be distributed on the FreeBSD CD. Their Web site shows they only test these SCSI cards under 95 & NT so it appears Diamond are still only interested in MS users. If anyone has one of these cards working successfully under FreeBSD I'd like to know. BTW, I also have OS/2 on my PC and the Stealth graphics card took a lot of effort to get working under that too, so if anybody knows if the FirePort works under OS/2 I'd be interested in your comments.
