Hi....

Reading through http://seeberg.dk/freebsd/idaraid/smart-2_controllers.html,
I noticed the line: "The EISA controllers are not supported yet."

Has the ida driver been "fixed" yet, in regards to EISA controllers (the
Compaq Smart 2/E in particular)?  It doesn't appear so as of
4.3-RELEASE, which identifies the controller on boot up, and then
promptly panics :(

An alternative I guess, is to use the old 3.x (non-newbus) driver ... but how?

Thanks... Jamie
