I have used the ATA66 controller unde certain other operating systems, and the performace difference is minimal. -Steve On Thu, 25 Nov 1999, Matt Chambers wrote: > Hi there, > > I am going to be installing FreeBSD 3.2 on a abit - bp6 with ata 66 IDE, > can I expect problems, as I have read that in order for this to work do > I > need current? > > TIA > > --MattC. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > ___________________________________________________________ | | / | Time is an Illusion, | / | Lunchtime doubley so. | I'm ahead of my time, / | -Ford Prefect | but only by a week. / | fordp@guide.chi.il.us | / |_________________________|__________________________/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
