Here is what I am running. FreeBSD 4.7 p25 boot disk IDE SCSI tape drive twe0 is an Escalade 7500-4 twe1 is an Escalade 7000-2 I have tried two different 7500-4 cards. I have changed slots. I have tried 3 different motherboards. 2 ASUS P2BS 1 MSI K7 Master-S What I suspect. The Escalade 7500-4 is a 64 bit card. I am using it on a 32 bit bus. The manual doesn't say you can't but I am suspicous. Both 7500-4 cards worked just fine on Linux and Windows on both 32 and 64 bit motherboards IIRC. Is it possible we have a driver issue here? The machine is a backup server so reliability is important. :^) So far I haven't lost any data but...... If you can help great. If you need more info let me know. hal
