I got an old narrow controller out of a box and used that, I think it was an Adaptec 1542CF - old narrow SCSI controllers are no problem to find in my various junk boxes. :-) If I hadn't had one available, I'd have gone out and gotten the cheapest NCR or AdvanSys controller I could find and used that, I guess. Since it's typically just for your CDROM or an external device (depending on which of the 3 connections you want to "offload" from your primary controller), you don't even need a BIOS on the card and that tends to make 'em pretty cheap. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
