   Which version of FreeBSD? The original version of the Cyclades driver only
supported 16 units per controller. The newer version in -current and the 2.2
branch supports multiple controllers with 32 units each. I also provided this
code to Cyclades for customers using FreeBSD 2.1.6...it's available on their
ftp site.
