Can anyone share some of their experiences with these vendors? I realize I am ignoring the most interesting bits of your post, but I recently found indications that the HighPoint driver in FreeBSD supports port multipliers. I found someone claiming that it is supported on a mailinglist. Checking HighPoint does list multiplier support as an "official" card feature for those cards that support it, and they are maintaining FreeBSD has a supported platform AFAIK. I sent a request to them to confirm whether this was indeed the case, but haven't received a response (yet?). Since you mention you're on a budget, I thought I'd mention this since, right now, the most likely future path for me will be either HighPoint if I can confirm multiplier support, or future FreeBSD releases given that multiplier support seems to be on the way in for various controllers. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkiZ3e8ACgkQDNor2+l1i30T+wCfVMIs4YlYDxcnw2zhM3/HEFLR nGkAoMjTCSTDOUYVmDS3wHOnVBmdKtpp =Qcom -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
