I Have An IDE I don't think it should, but it can make a difference. I never had problems with mine (Mitsumi 6X). Which version of FreeBSD are you trying? >Yes.

I Hate It When People Do That. Anyway. Don't listen. The only thing I've got SCSI for is a Magneto Optical drive I occasionally use.

Posting the dmesg output (startup hardware diagnostics), especially where it finds your ide controllers and hard drive, would probably be helpful. >If Anyone's Willing To Donate Some SCSI Hardware To A >15 Year Old That Would Bow Down Before Your Infinite Greatness That >Would Be Good Too.
