The devices are: >=20 > Seagate ST01/02 SCSI controllers > Future Domain 8xx/950 series SCSI controllers I just popped in disc1 from 4.1-RELEASE/i386 (the oldest CD-ROM set in front of me right now [1]) and both of these devices are mentioned in RELNOTES.TXT as being "not supported by the new CAM subsystem". This was a time when the release notes listed supported hardware, partially (but not completely) duplicating HARDWARE.TXT. I'm not sure what the state of these devices are now, or what drivers they were mapped to. But that gives you a pretty good idea how old they are. If no one speaks up after a suitable amount of time, I'd say just nuke 'em. :-) Bruce. [1] It still had the shrink wrap on it until ten minutes ago.
