-----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Anthony Howe Sent: 01 May 2003 20:02 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeBSD and hardware support requests... I've been saddled with a Highpoint RocketRAID 133 (IDE RAID) for my 2U server (only one that would fit apparently). I want to install FreeBSD 5.0 on the machine, but the http://www.highpoint-tech.com/ support pages only have precompile drivers upto 4.7 and open-source version for Linux. I've tried contacting Highpoint by email, but they won't answer. I was hoping that FreeBSD as a group might be able to press them to release their FreeBSD versions as open-source too. Failing that, some directions to the relavent module writing documentation would help so that I might consider porting the Linux opern-source to FreeBSD. -----End of Original Message----- According to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/hardware-i386.html they support: HighPoint HPT366 ATA66, HPT370 ATA100, HPT372 ATA133, HPT374 ATA133 Why not use the existing FreeBSD code and save yourself a job? ;) I believe the Rocket Raid uses the HPT372 chipset.
