You > will probably fail. Yes. WE all know that. Evidently you are not one of the MANY that have experienced this PROBLEM first hand. You have made it perfectly clear that it is not FreeBSD! I beg to differ. Why does NetBSD boot it up ? eh ? I should send you one of my PC's, controller card(s), and 2.2.6, 2.2.5, 2.2.2, 2.1.6, 2.1.5 and let you "play" with it for a year and see if you got it running yet. I can take the exact same controller, ribbon, hard disk, all as one unit, put it all into a newer PC, and it all boots up. No problemo. Light'n up. You come across defensive, as if you wrote the driver for it. Whether you did or didn't, I'm just stating the facts I and others have encountered for the last 2 years. I'm just reporting my _findings_. Geez. It really doesn't surprise me when one considers ALL the hardware combonations that are out there in the marketplace, particularly over the last 5 years, that thier isn't more hardware blues encountered.
