Hi there Paul,
Previous correspondence from Paul Hamilton (15:19 12-1-2004 +0800):

Thanks for the tip. I couldn't find it in the 5.2 hardware support pages,
though.
Highpoint's web site [1] mentions support for FreeBSD 4.x and 5.0. It took
me a while to find that info. The 1820 also appears to have support for
FreeBSD 5.1, according to the website [2]. I suppose I wasn't looking
carefully enough.
Cheers,
Rogier Krieger
