Hi Phil, > I have an Adaptec 2930 or similar lying around -- what are the chances > it will function under FreeBSD/PPC ? I seem to remember that PCI device > initialization and firmware are not the same for i386 vs. PPC. Any idea ? I suspect that it will work, but you won't be able to boot from it. OpenFirmware requires Forth FCode in ROMs for non-trivial devices e.g. ethernet, SCSI, video cards. later, Peter.
