Stefan; I have an opposite experience to relate. I've installed FreeBSD using your driver on a number of systems now, with drives ranging from old Quantums to 9G Seagates, and quite a few between. _None_ of them have given me any trouble. One of these customers was an ex-Linux user, who spent most of the install bagging the NCR as a "piece of crap" (there is a JJJ reference there for the few of you who know who they are 8). You should have seen his face when I ran iozone. I'm afraid I don't have a picture to send you, but I _am_ thankful for the work you do. > STefan Saying thankyou properly really sounds like butt-tunnelling, I know.
