Greetings,

        Pardon the use of ( possibly ) excessive list bandwidth but I have
some newbie questions.

        I am exploring some communications server development work and was
looking into using the Intel PR440FX dual Pentium Pro motherboard.  Do
systems built around this board generally run both the FreeBSD uni-processor
release and the current FreeBSD SMP release ? ( Not at the same time ! ) Are
there working drivers for this boards integrated SCSI and 10/100BaseT
ethernet controllers for these kernels ?  The marketing literature describes
the SCSI controller "Adaptec 2940UW (7880) SCSI Controller" and the ethernet
as an "Ether Express".

        Thanks in advance.
