I've had for about two or three and a half years now and only used it with freebsd (ok, it did get used under dos to run an exabyte test bed/fireware upgrade)... from dmesg: ahc0: at 0x1c00-0x1cff irq 12 on eisa0 slot 1 ahc0: aic7770 >= Rev E, Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 4 SCBs as you can see, it requires the eisa code to be detected... and actually this is what I use in the kernel config: controller eisa0 controller ahc0 as you can see, it requires nothing else and works great... > > On Sat, 14 Feb 1998, Jordan K.
