" Not true. This is from drivers/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_pci.c on Linux 2.4.20: { ID_AHA_19160B, ID_ALL_MASK, "Adaptec 19160B Ultra160 SCSI adapter", ahc_aic7892_setup }, i.e. the driver does recognize it. The file is the same under FreeBSD. (The core driver is the same for FreeBSD and Linux, the OS glue is different.) So it'll work in either OS. > So the adapter fails on two points: It is not to be used with Microsoft, but > linux, and the server is not on a desktop, but in a rack :-) > > So it must be returned. You don't need to return it at all. It should work fine. I'd recommend just getting disks and installing FreeBSD on it.
