And good luck, because according to this latest > message from Terry Lambert, it might not help you: Unfortunately, this did not work. Oh, well. At this point I see two paths: 1. I've got a Future Domain TMC830 SCSI card and a drive for it -- which I could attach a SCSI drive to. However, FreeBSD doesn't seem to be able to see the drive. The docs say that FreeBSD is okay for the FD TMC8xx interface. Any clues? 2. Get a new Mitsumi drive (e.g. FX400, etc.). Do all the newer mitsumi drives work with FreeBSD? A big motivation is to use the stuff I have, since I'm just about to buy a new machine for windows programming -- and the new one is going to get all the whizzz-bang stuff. The FreeBSD machine doesn't need to be super-fast, since it will be used for perl programming, as a partner for network programming on the windows machine, and for general unix fun. (I wish it were the other way around!) Thanks, Erik.
