Ok, some may be familiar with the thread I started asking wether some Industrial Computer Source hardware would work fine with FreeBSD. Since the price tag on that stuff is so high, I decided to look again for more mainstream alternatives. I started looking at SuperMicro's site for motherboards for the first time in a long time, and found they had one with 9 slots, which isn't too badly priced according to what I found on PriceWatch. The board has 5 "primary" and 4 "secondary" PCI slots. Wether this means it uses a standard PCI-PCI bridge or dual host-PCI bridges, or something different entirely (using the I2O procesor?) I don't know. I know FreeBSD doesn't support I2O yet (if ever?), but that shouldn't keep it from running, I hope. So, has anyone used FreeBSD with this board successfully? Any caveats? -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
