These boards have 64-bit PCI SATA cards jammed in 32-bit PCI slots. Oddly enough, the boxen boot and start Linux (which will be replaced with FreeBSD when I'm done) I guess my question is hardware-related. I mean, I can't believe this worked! Has anyone else seen/done this? Is this as crazy as it seems to me? -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
