I didn't know just how well I had it, installing FreeBSD, until I put Solaric 1.1.2 on a Sparc 1+.

This stuff (FreeBSD) isn't just great code, its eaaaaaaazy.... I did my first ftp install of 2.2Gamma a few weeks back.
Great stuff!

										Thanks, [RC]






	Is this current batch of Adaptec trouble, at all caused by Adaptec not working well with the "FreeBSD Movement"?
	I bought 2.0.5 for its 2940 support, and that system has run non-stop since day one. Good code.
	I've asked the question before, if bustek/buslogic were good cards, and the answer was no, because they don't release
enough developer info.
	Its too bad NCR, (the ne2000 of the scsi market?), doesn't make a new "superchip" scsi controller. I wouldn't
hesitate a second to stop buying adaptec entirely. Same goes for digiboard. Ditto for creative labs.
	What is it about companies that turn mediocre products into industry mainstays?
	I guess I shouldn't complain, I mean look at the PC in general, its a bastard child of technology-whores.
